This review provides a critical analysis of catalytic kinetic resolution reactions from a
practical perspective, asking the question of when, if ever, is kinetic resolution the best …

Abstract In 1980, Sharpless and Katsuki discovered a system for the asymmetric epoxidation
of primary allylic alcohols that utilizes Ti (OPr‐i) 4, a dialkyl tartrate as a chiral ligand, and tert …

As pharmaceutical companies look to develop single enantiomers as drug candidates,
chemists are increasingly faced with the problems associated with this subclass of organic …

cis-1, 2-Cyclohexanediol (L3) has been shown to be an efficient and versatile bidentate O-
