Chiral Ferrocenes in Asymmetric Catalysis

Download or read book Chiral Ferrocenes in Asymmetric Catalysis written by Li-Xin Dai and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book meets the long-felt need for a reference on ferrocenes with the focus on catalysis. It provides a thorough overview of the synthesis and characterization of different types of chiral ferrocene ligands, their application to various catalytic asymmetric reactions, and versatile chiral materials as well as drug intermediates synthesized from them. Written by the "who's who" of ferrocene catalysis, this is a guide to the design of new ferrocene ligands and synthesis of chiral synthetic intermediates, and will thus be useful for organic, catalytic and synthetic chemists working in academia, industrial research or process development.
