New Synthetic Applications of Rhodium-Catalyzed Carbon-Carbon and Carbon-Heteroatom Bond Forming Reactions

This thesis is divided into four chapters that describe the new development in rhodium-catalyzed addition reactions and asymmetric ring opening (ARO) reactions of strained alkenes. Chapter 1 describes a regioselective Rh(I)-catalyzed addition reaction of arylboronic acids to unactivated alkenes - pr...
