The present thesis reviews the development of a formal enantiodivergent
synthesis of the (+)- and (-)-isomers of balanol. This approach commences from a
cis-dihydrodiol derived from the enzymatic ...
Iridium complexes with bidentate P,N ligands represent a class of catalysts that
significantly expand the application range of asymmetric hydrogenation. New substrate
classes, for which there have ...
The present studies describe our recent work on expanding the use of the Burgess
reagent and its reaction with oxiranes. Several new variants of the Burgess reagent and its
chiral auxiliary version were evaluated for ...
