The precise construction of chiral molecules is a core research area in chemical science and
technology. Among the plethora of reported synthetic methods, asymmetric catalysis has …

Compared with non-ligated Ni–Al bimetallic catalysis, bifunctional ligand-ligated Ni–Al
bimetallic catalysis displays stronger synergism, not only affecting the electronic properties …

Direct asymmetric functionalization of the pyridyl C–H bond represents a longstanding
challenge in organic chemistry. We herein describe the first enantioselective para-C–H …

A distinct class of C 1-symmetric N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands possessing a chiral
fused tetrahydroquinoline ring and a chiral N-arylmethyl group was designed and …

The concept of atropisomeric N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)–metal complexes was
extended to NHCs possessing a C2-symmetry and implemented to prepare palladium …

The increasing number of examples on cooperative dual catalysis involving organocatalysts
and transition metal catalysts indicate their wider acceptance and utility in synthetic …

In this paper, Grubbs-and Hoveyda–Grubbs-type olefin metathesis catalysts featuring N-
cyclopentyl/N'-mesityl backbone-substituted N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands were …

A series of new chiral seven-membered NHCs were synthesized via Ru-catalyzed
asymmetric hydrogenation reactions as the key step. Transition metal such as Rh, Ir and Au …

A systematized survey of reviews and monographs published in 2019 on all aspects of
heterocyclic chemistry is given. Methods for the synthesis, reactivity, and practically useful …

Asymmetric catalysis with phosphine free ligands is a rapidly developing field where N-
heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are making increasingly more impact. Herein, we report the …
