While tremendous advances have been made in asymmetric synthesis, the resolution of
racemates is still the most important industrial approach to the synthesis of chiral …

1. INTRODUCTION The catalysis of organic reactions by metals still constitutes one of the
most useful and powerful tools in organic synthesis. 1 Although asymmetric synthesis is …

Easy access on water: A cobalt‐catalyzed asymmetric preparation of
trifluoromethylcyclopropanes has been developed that yields high enantioselectivities with a …

Abstract The (salen) Co catalyst (4a) can be prepared as a mixture of cyclic oligomers in a
short, chromatography-free synthesis from inexpensive, commercially available precursors …

A group of modified (salen) Cr (III) Cl complexes with bulky benzylic substituents in the 3,
3′-position of the salicylidene moiety have been successfully applied for the asymmetric …

The asymmetric ring-opening of epoxides is an important reaction in organic synthesis,
since it allows for the enantioselective installation of two vicinal functional groups with …

A kinetic resolution of 1, 2-diols bearing both a secondary and a primary alcohol motif
through an N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed oxidative acylation reaction has been …

In the past decade, compounds bearing a stereogenic C− N axis have gained significant
attention in fields ranging from ligand to drug design. Yet, the atroposelective synthesis of …

A new 'Cassette'-In Situ Enzymatic Screen (ISES) for combinatorial catalysis is introduced.
This allows the experimentalist to obtain an information-rich readout, in real time, providing …

A facile and simple one-pot method was developed to produce a series of optically active (S)-
1-phenyl-1, 2-ethanediols with good yields (up to 70%) and high enantiomeric excess (> …
