15. X-ray crystal structures of 3s and 5s (See Supporting Information) provide an insight for the differentiation of two enantiotopic carbonyl groups in 3s by 2f. The chiral environment around the H-N-Ru-H moiety in the hydride complex derived from 2f should form a pericyclic transition state with the pro-R carbonyl group preferentially.
16. N-(3,4-methylenedioxy)phenyl-3-phenylglutarimide also undergoes enantioselective hydrogenation to give the product in 96% ee. Details will be published elsewhere.

26. Recently Bruneau and co-workers successfully developed Ru-catalyzed hydrogenation of cyclic imides with NH group leading to lactams. However, their reaction of N-substituted phthalimides resulted in saturation of the aromatic ring. Aoun, R.; Renaud, J.-L.; Dixneuf, P. H.; Bruneau, C. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2005, 44, 2021-2023.
