Chiral phosphorus ligands play a crucial role in asymmetric catalysis for the efficient
synthesis of useful optically active compounds. They are largely categorized into two …

Molecular syntheses largely rely on time‐and labour‐intensive prefunctionalization
strategies. In contrast, C− H activation represents an increasingly powerful approach that …

Direct catalytic modifications of carbon–hydrogen (CH) bonds, ubiquitous in organic
molecules, represent a powerful strategy in organic synthesis. In the past decade, chemists …

Since the development of BisP* ligand by Imamoto, P-stereogenic phosphines bearing a
bulky tert-butyl group and a smaller alkyl group have demonstrated extraordinary proficiency …

A new class of cobalt catalytic system for asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones was herein
reported, involving the development of novel ferrocene-based secondary phosphine oxide …

We communicate a strategy for the hydrofunctionalization of 1, 3-dienes via Rh-hydride
catalysis. Conjugated dienes are coupled to nucleophiles to demonstrate the feasibility of …

In the past few years, supramolecular chemistry has led to new approaches in
homogeneous catalysis. While host-guest chemistry had already found applications in …

This review describes the development in the use of secondary phosphine oxides ligands in
transition-metal-catalyzed oxidative coupling reactions to the formation of CC, CN and CS …

The control of chemo-, regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity is a central theme in organic
synthesis. The capability to obtain the full set of stereoisomers of a molecule would …

Highly enantioselective nickel‐catalyzed alkene endo‐hydroarylations were accomplished
with full selectivity by organometallic C− H activation. The asymmetric assembly of chiral six …
