Development of Rhodium-catalyzed Reactions for the Enantioselective Desymmetrization and Carbonylation of meso Alkenes
This thesis describes the discovery of catalytic reactions that create carbon-carbon bonds stereoselectively between substrates bearing an alkene and organoboronic acids reagents. Chiral rhodium(I) catalysts were found to react with various meso-symmetrical substrates, thereby resulting in enantiose...
