Journal ArticleDOI
Supramolecular ligand–ligand and ligand–substrate interactions for highly selective transition metal catalysis
TL;DR: Non-covalent interactions between monodentate ligands such as hydrogen bonding, coordinative bonding, ion pairing, π-π interactions and the formation of inclusion compounds are shown to impart higher activity and chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity to the corresponding transition metal complexes in a number of catalytic applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stereoselective reactions involving hypervalent silicate complexes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the more recent achievements in silicate-mediated stereoselective reactions catalyzed by chiral Lewis bases and present a review of the most recent achievements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structurally simple pyridine N-oxides as efficient organocatalysts for the enantioselective allylation of aromatic aldehydes.
TL;DR: Structurally simple pyridine N-oxides can also promote the allylation reaction with satisfactory stereocontrol, even if the ee's obtained are inferior to the best values observed with other catalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multifunctional proline-based organic catalyst for enantioselective aldol reactions
TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of multifunctional organic catalysts, easily obtained by the condensation of (S)-proline with 1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diamine is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins with PhthalaPhos, a new class of chiral supramolecular ligands.
TL;DR: Control experiments and kinetic studies were carried out that allowed us to demonstrate that hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the diamide group of the PhthalaPhos ligands strongly contribute to their outstanding catalytic properties.
