More information
This project focuses on the development of novel catalytic systems for the stereoselective alkylation of carbonyl compounds, including aldehydes and ketones. Although these catalytic transformations and the corresponding catalysts have been extensively studied, further progress in this field has been hindered primarily by the complexity and demanding nature of synthesizing new chiral ligands for titanium complexation. This project aims to overcome this limitation by developing a simple, efficient, and synthetically economical approach to the preparation of suitable ligands, thereby facilitating the expansion of structural diversity and enabling further advances in the development of novel stereoselective catalytic systems.
