Asymmetric Transition Metal-Catalyzed Allylic Alkylations.

TL;DR: The focus of this review is on the area of enantioselective transition metal-catalyzed allylic alkylations which may involve C-C as well as C-X (X ) H or heteroatom) bond formation.

New Chiral Phosphorus Ligands for Enantioselective Hydrogenation

TL;DR: The increasing demand to produce enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, flavors, and other fine chemicals has advanced the field of asymmetric catalytic technologies, and asymmetric hydrogenation utilizing molecular hydrogen to reduce prochiral olefins, ketones, and imines has become one of the most efficient methods for constructing chiral compounds.

Homogeneous catalysis by transition metal oxygen anion clusters

TL;DR: In this paper, a thorough discussion of homogeneous catalysis by transition metal oxygen anion clusters (polyoxometalates), with a focus on mechanism, is provided, and a general compilation of the reactions, including catalytic electrooxidations or electroreductions, reported to date is given.

Double Asymmetric Synthesis and a New Strategy for Stereochemical Control in Organic Synthesis

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that double asymmetric induction can be analyzed in terms of the single asymmetric reactions of each of the two chiral reactants, and a new strategy based on this rule for the predictable creation of new chiral centers is discussed and the use of this strategy for the synthesis of sugars and macrolides is presented.

Mechanism and stereoselectivity of asymmetric hydrogenation.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the stereoselection is dictated not by the preferred initial binding of the substrate to the chiral catalyst, but rather by the much higher reactivity of the minor diastereomer of the catalyst-substrate adduct corresponding to the less favored binding mode.
