Asymmetric catalysis, in its infancy in the 1960s, has dramatically changed the procedures of
chemical synthesis, and resulted in an impressive progression to a level that technically …

Hydrogenation is a core technology in chemical synthesis. High rates and selectivities are
attainable only by the coordination of structurally well‐designed catalysts and suitable …

The CH/π hydrogen bond is an attractive molecular force occurring between a soft acid and
a soft base. Contribution from the dispersion energy is important in typical cases where …

The first supplement to the three volume reference work" Comprehensive Asymmetric
Catalysis" critically reviews new developments to the hottest topics in the field written by …

The catalytic cycles for the H2-hydrogenation (H) and transfer hydrogenation (T) of C O
and C N bonds catalyzed by over 100 ruthenium hydride complexes in organic and …

Hydrogen transfer reduction processes are attracting increasing interest from synthetic
chemists in view of their operational simplicity and high selectivity. In this tutorial review the …

Organic chemists tend to consider the conformation of compounds as a consequence of
repulsive steric interactions. In other words,“the steric effect” means “repulsive” in many …

The organometallic approach is one of the most active topics in catalysis. The application of
NH functionality in organometallic catalysis has become an important and attractive concept …

The start of the development of catalysts for asymmetric hydrogenation was the concept of
replacing the triphenylphosphane ligand of the Wilkinson catalyst with a chiral ligand. With …

This treatise is an update to a preceding highlight (CH/π hydrogen bonds in crystals)
published in this journal 5 years ago (M. Nishio, CrystEngComm, 2004, 6, 130–156). After …
