Studies on the use of peptide auxiliaries in the meso-desymmetrization of epoxides, and the kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols

Includes bibliographical references === This thesis reports on the use of amino acids and peptides as chiral ligands/catalysts in two asymmetric processes: Meso-desymmetrization of an epoxide and the kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols. Chapter 1 comprises a literature review, which gives a gen...
