From transition metals to organocatalysis

  • Published:
Russian Chemical Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

Several classes of transition metal-catalyzed reactions and the gradual transition to organocatalysis are summarized as the authors’ personal account. This includes a brief overview of novel nonsymmetrically substituted 1,1′-binaphthyls and their application in Pd-catalyzed reactions and as chiral phase-transfer catalysts, and new chiral complexes of 2,2′-bipyridine-type ligands with Mo, Cu, and Pd and their catalytic applications. The attention is focused on chiral pyridine-type N-oxides as novel Lewis-basic organocatalysts applied in allylation of aromatic aldehydes with allyltrichlorosilane.
