Synthesis of P,N-chelate phosphaalkene–oxazoline ligands and their applications in asymmetric catalysis

This thesis outlines the design, synthesis and utilization of phosphaalkene-based ligands for asymmetric catalysis. Transition metal catalysis studies that utilize achiral phosphaalkene-based ligands are reviewed in Chapter 1. In addition, the synthesis and reactivity of phosphaalkenes are briefl...
