Over the past three decades, chiral phase-transfer catalysts (PTCs) have emerged as highly
successful organocatalysts in a diverse range of asymmetric reactions. A substantial number …

This work describes highly enantioselective nitrene transfer to hydrocinnamyl alcohols
(benzylic C–H amination) and allylic alcohols (aziridination) using ion-paired Rh (II, II) …

Enantioselective C− H amination at a benzylic methylene is a vital disconnection towards
chiral benzylamines. Here we disclose that butyric and valeric acid‐derived tertiary amides …

Spiro-3, 2′-azetidine oxindoles combine two independently important pharmacophores in
an understudied spirocyclic motif that is attractive for medicinal chemistry. Here, the …

Silyl-phenanthroline (NN′ Si) ligand ancillary iridium-catalyzed C (sp3)–H borylation is
investigated theoretically. Density functional theory calculations clearly disclose that the …

Secondary amines as a directing group for CH activation have limitations as they are prone
to undergo oxidation, allylic deamination, and β-hydride elimination. The fundamental …

Phenanthroline and bipyridine scaffolds are among the most widely used chelating ligands
in organic synthesis. In this Ph. D. thesis, new chiral ligands were developed, combining the …
