Catalytic Asymmetric Reactions in Organic Chemistry

This lecture covers the principles for catalysis in organic chemistry, including reactions and ligands. It presents classical examples and new developments, bridging the gap between classics and current research. The instructor discusses the power point presentation structure, the summary by students, and the presentation of recent publications. Topics include key concepts in organic, coordination, and stereo chemistry, principles of catalysis, and asymmetric induction. The lecture also delves into the classification of catalytic asymmetric reactions, modes of asymmetric induction, and key parameters for catalysis and asymmetric catalysis.
