R-amino acid reductions, allow entry to other classes of compounds that are also useful as
the source of chiral centers, as with R-amino aldehydes, that, in turn, can be used in a …

The processes for the selective oxidation of olefins have long been among the most useful
tools for day‐to‐day organic synthesis. Herein, the focus is on the asymmetric‐epoxidation …

During the last decade a number of powerful asymmetric reactions have emerged as a result
of the growing need to develop efficient and practical syntheses of biologically active …

The search for new metal‐catalyzed asymmetric reactions has provided some fascinating
insights into the effects imposed on the metal catalysts by chiral ligands. A practical …

Homogeneous catalysis has been responsible for many major recent developments in
synthetic organic chemistry. The combined use of organometallic and coordination …

A chiral, vaultedbinaphthyl porphyrin (1) has been prepared from 5a, 10/3, 15a, 20| 8-
tetrakis (o-aminophenyl) porphyrin and (/?)-(+)-2, 2/-dimethoxy-l, l'-bi-6-naphthoyl chloride in …

Reduction of (ArL) CoIIBr (ArL= 5-mesityl-1, 9-(2, 4, 6-Ph3C6H2) dipyrrin) with potassium
graphite afforded the novel CoI synthon (ArL) CoI. Treatment of (ArL) CoI with a …

A large number of successful methods for chirality transfer, using either stoichiometric or
catalytic chiral auxiliaries, are in use today. However, there is a lack of practical and dynamic …

The introduction of nitrogen atoms into small molecules is of fundamental importance and it
is vital that ever more efficient and selective methods for achieving this are developed. With …

Increasingly stringent environmental constraints are providing the stimulus for the
replacement of traditional stoichiometric oxidants, eg dichromate, permanganate, with …
