The last decade has witnessed a high demand of various synthetic approaches towards
bioactive achiral diarylmethanols, diaryl and triarylmethanes and the molecules derived …

Enantiopure diarylmethanols, propargylic and allylic alcohols are important building blocks
for the synthesis of a plethora of natural products and pharmaceutically relevant compounds …

Ligand design by‐pam: A ruthenium‐catalyzed asymmetric arylation of aldehydes with
arylboronic acids has been developed, giving chiral diarylmethanols in good yields. The use …

A new chiral phosphine ligand (R)-1 possessing a fluoroalcohol moiety was prepared. The
(R)-1-coordinated Rh (I) complex showed an excellent catalytic activity for asymmetric 1, 2 …

We present an improved and convenient synthesis of [2.2] paracyclophane‐imidazoline N, O‐
ligands with central and planar chirality in seven steps starting from [2.2] paracyclophane …

A novel ruthenium catalyst on the basis of a chiral monophosphorus ligand is efficient for the
asymmetric addition of arylboronic acids to aryl aldehydes, providing a series of chiral …

Following pioneering work by Bolm and co-workers,[1] B–Zn transmetallation reactions
between arylboronic acids and diethylzinc have been exploited in a range of asymmetric …

A highly practical, catalytic enantioselective alkyl and aryl addition to aldehydes and ketones
with organozinc reagents, which were prepared in situ from commercially available Grignard …

The diastereomeric aziridine carbinols are applied, respectively, as efficient chiral ligand in
the catalysis of asymmetric arylation and sequential arylation-lactonization cascade. The two …

A highly efficient enantioselective addition of Me2Zn to α‐ketoesters, assisted by a chiral
perhydro‐1, 3‐benzoxazine ligand, is described. This novel catalytic system offers …
