Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic Enantioselective Transformations Involving C-H Bond Cleavage by Transition-Metal Complexes.
TL;DR: This analysis comprehensively review all asymmetric transition-metal-catalyzed methodologies that are believed to proceed via an inner-sphere-type mechanism, with an emphasis on the nature of stereochemistry generation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric Catalysis Powered by Chiral Cyclopentadienyl Ligands
TL;DR: A comparative analysis of the available ligand families, an overview of their complexation chemistry, and an examination of their application in catalytic enantioselective reactions are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Axially Chiral Dibenzazepinones by a Palladium(0)-Catalyzed Atropo-enantioselective C−H Arylation
TL;DR: In this paper, a highly atropo-enanti-selective palladium(0)-catalyzed methodology was proposed to obtain axially chiral dibenzazepinones.
Journal ArticleDOI
The anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and tuberculostatic activities of a series of 6,7-substituted-5,8-quinolinequinones.

TL;DR: A variety of 6,7-substituted-5,8-quinolinequinones were synthesised and assessed for their anti-tumour and anti-inflammatory activities, and their ability to inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium bovis BCG.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pseudopterosin synthesis from a chiral cross-conjugated hydrocarbon through a series of cycloadditions
Christopher G. Newton,Samuel L. Drew,Andy Lawrence,Anthony C. Willis,Michael N. Paddon-Row,Michael S. Sherburn +5 more
TL;DR: This approach has led to a significant reduction in the step count required to access these interesting natural products and demonstrates that cross-conjugated hydrocarbons, erroneously considered by many to be too unstable and difficult to handle, are viable precursors for natural product synthesis.
