All Stories

  1. A modular family of phosphine-phosphoramidite ligands and their hydroformylation catalysts: steric tuning impacts upon the coordination geometry of trigonal bipyramidal complexes of type [Rh(H)(CO)2(P^P*)]
  2. Rhodium/phospholane–phosphite catalysts give unusually high regioselectivity in the enantioselective hydroformylation of vinyl arenes
  3. Catalytic constructive deoxygenation of lignin-derived phenols: new C–C bond formation processes from imidazole-sulfonates and ether cleavage reactions
  4. Simultaneous control of regioselectivity and enantioselectivity in the hydroxycarbonylation and methoxycarbonylation of vinyl arenes
  5. Highly enantioselective hydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation of cycloalkyl and heterocyclic ketones catalysed by an iridium complex of a tridentate phosphine-diamine ligand
  6. Convenient and improved protocols for the hydrogenation of esters using Ru catalysts derived from (P,P), (P,N,N) and (P,N,O) ligands
  7. Synthesis of organocatalysts using non-covalent chemistry; understanding the reactivity of ProNap, an enamine-type organocatalyst that can self assemble with complementary co-catalysts
