The discovery of ferrocene,[Fe (η5-C5H5) 2], seventy years ago has significantly influenced
chemical research and provided a key impetus for establishing and rapidly expanding …

With the ever-present need for novel asymmetric methodologies in organic synthesis to
allow chemists to access enantiopure compounds, so too is there a need for new chiral …

Ferrocene-derived dicarbaldehydes bearing pro-chiral planes are desymmetrized under the
catalysis of chiral N-heterocyclic carbene organic catalysts. The reaction features selective …

The development of catalytic synthetic approaches towards molecular complexity from
simple materials continues to be an ultimate goal in synthetic chemistry. Over the past …

In the last few decades, N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands, characterized by attractive
features, have increased their presence in transition‐metal catalysis. However, chiral NHC …

An efficient approach to (Rp) planar-chiral tri-and tetracyclic ortho-condensed aromatic
ferrocenes was developed through the enantioselective cationic Au (I)-catalyzed …

One-step asymmetric synthesis of metallocenes with planar and central chirality was
developed by rhodium-catalyzed desymmetric cyclization. The reactions of prochiral 1, 2 …

A catalyst of a new type, cyclobutadiene complex [(C4Et4) Rh (p-xylene)] PF6, was found to
promote selective reductive amination in the presence of carbon monoxide under mild …

An efficient Cu-catalyzed annulation reaction of ketone oxime acetates with ortho-
trifluoroacetyl anilines has been disclosed. With the developed protocol, a series of 4 …

In the last decade, planar chiral ferrocenes have attracted a growing interest in several
fields, particularly in asymmetric catalysis, medicinal chemistry, chiroptical spectroscopy and …
