The demand for efficient chiral cyclopentadienyl ligands (Cp-x) has increased significantly in recent years, partly because Cp*Rh(III) species have been developed as powerful catalysts for directed C-H functionalization reactions. However, a lack of suitab ...
The activation of carbon-carbon bonds has attracted much attention in the past decade. Despite important progress, the development of asymmetric reactions lags behind. For the first time, asymmetric rhodium(I)-catalyzed direct oxidative additions into enan ...
