Abstract

The application of metal-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond formation methodologies to the synthesis of polyfunctional compounds is related to the capability of the catalyst to control the chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity of the reaction at a reasonable rate under mild conditions. The ligands on the metal play a key role in tuning the catalyst reactivity by a balance of steric and electronic factors and the identification of the best class of ligands for ...
