Chiral Phosphorous Based Ligands in Earth-Abundant Transition Metal Catalysis

Chiral Phosphorous Based Ligands in Earth-Abundant Transition Metal Catalysis summarizes the most significant progress in the field of chiral phosphine ligand chemistry and a broad range of earth-abundant transition metal/chiral phosphine ligand-catalyzed enantioselective transformations. The development of new chiral phosphine ligands to achieve precise stereo control in many earth-abundant transition metal-catalyzed reactions is a very important field in organic synthesis, materials science and medicinal chemistry. The asymmetric synthesis promoted by transition metal/chiral phosphine ligands provides one of the most ideal ways to produce valuable optically active chemicals. Compared with precious transition metals, earth-abundant transition metals (such as iron, cobalt, nickel and copper), have obvious advantages including low price, low or no toxicity, and exhibit the unique reactivity and selectivity in asymmetric catalysis and synthesis. Chiral Phosphorous Based Ligands in Earth-Abundant Transition Metal Catalysis provides an authoritative and in-depth understanding of important topics about asymmetric catalysis based on earth-abundant transition metals/chiral phosphine ligands and is ideal for organic chemistry researchers working in the field of asymmetric catalysis, synthetic methodologies as well as total synthesis.
