The preparation of new enantiopure ligands that provide a chiral environment to metals so
that they perform efficient asymmetric catalysis is one of the most straightforward challenges …

Five membered carbocycles are important building blocks for many biologically active
molecules. Moreover, substituted cyclopentenones (eg cyclopentenone prostaglandins) …

The preparation of chiral compounds is an important and challenging area of contemporary
synthetic organic chemistry. 1 In particular, the preparation of new chiral ligands for …

Direct dehydrogenative silylation of pyridyl and iminyl substrates with triethylsilane was
achieved using (L) Ir (cod)(X)(1)(L= a perimidine-based carbene ligand, X= OAc and …

Organocobalt compounds in organic synthesis have three characteristic reactions. The first
occurs because cobalt has a high affinity to carbon–carbon π‐bonds or carbon–nitrogen π …

Since its discovery in the early seventies the intermolecular Pauson-Khand reaction has
made considerable progress towards a powerful synthetic method. This account describes …

This feature article illustrates new concepts and approaches for designing new P, S-mixed
donor chelating ligands based on three major types of chiral skeleton, the central, axial and …

Chiral bidentate ligands are almost ubiquitous in metal catalysis.[1] This type of ligand can
be classified according to where the chiral information lies in their structures and the nature …

An interesting rhodium‐catalyzed asymmetric aqueous Pauson–Khand‐type reaction was
developed. A chiral atropisomeric dipyridyldiphosphane ligand was found to be highly …

The asymmetric intermolecular and catalytic Pauson–Khand reaction has remained an
elusive goal since Khand and Pauson discovered this transformation. Using a novel family …
