Abstract

Chiral monodentate ligands are important tools for the control of enantioselectivity in catalytic reactions. These compounds are particularly important when transition-metal catalysts lack sufficient coordination sites to bind a bidentate ligand and still retain activity. Along these lines, modular, tunable chiral carbenes [1] and phosphoramidites [2] have found particular prominence in the field of asymmetric catalysis. Aside from these compound ...
