Towards transition metal-catalyzed hydration of olefins, aquo ions, and pyridylphosphine-platinum and palladium complexes
This thesis work resulted from an on-going project in this laboratory focusing on the hydration of olefins, using transition metal complexes as catalysts, with the ultimate aim of achieving catalytic asymmetric hydration, for example: (HO₂C)CH=CH(CO₂H) → (HO₂C)CH₂-CH(OH)(CO₂H) (C = chiral carbon a...
