Abstract:

This presentation will describe the design and synthesis of novel ferrocene-containing diols 1 as a novel scaffold for asymmetric catalysis and the novel axially chiral P,N ligand, UCD-PHIM and its applications in A3 coupling. The development of the Pd-catalysed decarboxylative asymmetric protonation for the preparation of -arylketones will be described, including recent advances in understanding the mechanisms involved in enantiodivergence and protonation with a chiral proton source.
