It has been well-documented that catalytic asymmetric synthesis is a field of great
importance in its practical usefulness as well as its scientific interest. 1 Among several types …

In the past 20 years there has been dramatic growth in the use of transition metal catalysts in
synthetically important organic transformations. Recently, increased attention has been paid …

Rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric arylation (RCAA) reactions provide one of the most
straightforward and powerful ways to introduce aryl fragments in an enantioselective …

Interest in the chemistry of ferrocene remains intense, largely due to applications within
catalysis. New synthetic routes to unsymmetrical ferrocene ligands have provided another …

The reaction of 1-(trifluoromethyl) alkenes (CF3CH= CHR) with arylboroxines (ArBO) 3 in the
presence of a chiral diene-rhodium catalyst gave high yields of chiral 1, 1-difluoroalkenes …

Over the past five years, several metal-catalyzed asymmetric ring-cleaving reactions have
been developed that generate ring-opened products in high yield and enantiomeric excess …

Though often perceived as the simple metaphorical hybrid of synthetic inorganic and
organic chemistry, synthetic organometallic chemistry continues to vigorously differentiate …

Site-selective functionalization is a core synthetic strategy that has broad implications in
organic synthesis. Particularly, exploiting chiral catalysis to control site selectivity in complex …

Oxa-and azabicyclic alkenes can be readily activated by transition-metal complexes with
facial selectivity, because of the intrinsic reactivity of strained bicyclic structures …
