Lecture

Catalytic Asymmetric Reactions

Description

This lecture covers various catalytic asymmetric reactions, including additions to carbonyl/imines, conjugate reduction/hydrogenation, conjugate addition with Cu catalysts, and other reactions like asymmetric oxidation and ring opening. Key concepts include regio- and enantio-selectivity, Lewis acid and reductant limitations, ligand synthesis challenges, and the importance of bulky ketones for high enantioselectivity. The lecture also discusses the mechanisms and keynotes of each reaction, highlighting the role of catalysts in controlling regio- and enantio-selectivity.
