Practical asymmetric catalysis using transition metal complexes was inspired by the work of
Kagan1 and Knowles. 2 Their important results, based on the use of chiral phosphines as …

The metal‐catalyzed decomposition of diazo compounds in the presence of alkenes is a
well‐established reaction. Since the original Organic Reactions review on the reaction of …

A Pd-catalyzed carboxamide-directed enantioselective 1, 2-carboboration reaction of
unactivated alkenes with C–H nucleophiles and B2Pin2 has been developed using a …

Asymmetric cyclopropanation of alkenes through diazo decomposition mediated by
transition metal complexes is a widely investigated catalytic reaction to obtain …

This publication describes oxazoline–amino acid bioconjugates 1 capable of
supramolecular interactions. The bioconjugates contain three main building blocks: an …

A catalytic enantioselective intermolecular [2+ 2+ 2] cycloaddition of one molecule of alkene
(enone) and two molecules of alkyne was developed in the presence of a nickel complex …

The asymmetric cyclopropanation of styrene with alkyl diazoacetate were performed with
copper complexes of Schiff bases, derived from substituted salicylaldehydes and a new …
