Chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes as ligands for boron-mediated asymmetric processes
N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have emerged over the last two decades as an important class of ligands in transition metal complexes, main group chemistry and organocatalysis. NHCs are now common replacements for phosphines in transition metal chemistry. This thesis describes the synthesis of a vari...
