Catalytic Asymmetric Reactions in Organic Chemistry

This lecture covers the principles for catalysis in organic chemistry, including reactions and ligands, bridging the gap between classical examples and new developments. It explores key concepts in organic, coordination, and stereochemistry, emphasizing the principles of catalysis and asymmetric induction. The lecture delves into various modes of asymmetric induction, such as the creation of new chirality elements, kinetic resolution, and desymmetrization. It also discusses key parameters for catalysis and asymmetric catalysis, highlighting the importance of efficiency and selectivity in catalytic reactions.
