Title Asymmetric Catalytic Additions of Diorganozinc Reagents Using a Diphosphine Monoxide Ligand

Adviser

Professor André B. Charette

Essay Since α amines are widely present in biological organisms, the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries have reproduced time and again this life-sustaining functionality into synthetic molecules. Over the years, the chemical community has even succeeded in developing excellent methods to prepare chiral amines. Yet, most of these methods may soon be outdated in light of latest policies addressing.....[full text; pdf file - 1.52KB]
