Using asymmetric catalysis to simultaneously form carbon–carbon bonds and generate single isomer products is strategically important. Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling is widely used in the academic and ...
The Pd-catalysed Stille cross-coupling reaction between stannanes and organic halides (RX) was discovered during 1976–1978 (refs 1, 2, 3), and is currently the second most widely used cross-coupling ...
Reactions that let chemists selectively make one enantiomer of a molecule over another fall into a field of modern organic chemistry called asymmetric catalysis. These reactions are crucial for ...
