The discovery of simple and efficient catalyst systems for the asymmetric
oxofunctionalization of hydrocarbons is a challenging task of catalytic chemistry. In this …

In the field of asymmetric synthesis, nonracemic sulfoxides are recognized as valuable and
efficient reagents. Their extensive use as chiral auxiliaries and intermediates is …

Vanadium complexes have proven to be effective catalysts for the activation of peroxides
and the selective oxidation of substrates like bromides, sulfides and alkenes. Besides their …

This review describes recent development in the use of sugar-derived ligands in the
selective synthesis of organic molecules. Developments in the recent literature (2004–2009) …

Obtaining both enantiomers of a given compound in high enantiomeric excess is an
attractive and important challenge, because it is often the case that each enantiomer exhibits …

We report the synthesis and characterization of several amino alcohol-derived reduced
Schiff base ligands (AORSB) and the corresponding VIVO and VV complexes. Some of the …

Supramolecular interactions and hydrogen bonding play a fundamental role in determining
both structure and function of vanadate in enzymatic systems and in particular for the active …

The sugar-modified Schiff base ligand benzyl 2-deoxy-2-salicylideneamino-α-d-
glucopyranoside H2L, prepared by condensation of salicylaldehyde and the monomeric …

In this article, benzyl 2-deoxy-2-salicylideneamino-α-d-glucopyranoside (H 2 Sal H Glc), a
sugar-based Schiff-base ligand, as well as four of its derivatives including H 2 Sal 5-Br Glc …

A series of vanadium (V) complexes with chiral tridentate Schiff base ligands, obtained by a
