Catalytic Asymmetric Reactions in Organic Chemistry

This lecture covers the topic of catalytic asymmetric reactions in organic chemistry, focusing on various methods such as asymmetric electrophilic allylation using different metals, activation of C-C double bonds, and other reactions. The slides discuss the mechanisms, ligands, and catalysts involved in these reactions, including Pd-Trost catalysis, molybdenum and iridium catalysis, and the use of different nucleophiles. The lecture also explores the generation of chiral enolates, the role of chiral elements in ligands, and the optimization of reaction parameters. Mechanistic studies, comparison with biocatalysis, and the influence of chirality elements on ligands are also discussed.
