IN the last issue of the "Annual Reports of the Chemical Society" 1, F. S. Spring has directed special attention to the success of Ziegler and his collaborators 2 in substituting olefines in the ...
The inner workings of asymmetric organometallic catalyst systems are not revealed to chemists every day, every week, or even necessarily every year. Studies to understand the detailed mechanisms of ...
Asymmetric catalysis in allylic reactions harnesses chiral catalysts to induce enantioselective formation of C–C and C–heteroatom bonds at allylic positions. Central to this strategy is the formation ...
