Abstract

Since the original demonstrations of homogeneous organometallic catalysis under mild conditions in the 1960s there has been much progress. A central focus for development has been asymmetric synthesis, through the use of optically active ligands. Chiral chelating biphosphines have played a key role in these advances, which have led to: asymmetric hydrogenation as a route to amino-acids and Vitamin E precursors, kinetic resolution in directed hydrogenation, asymmetric isomerisation of olefins in a route to citronellol, and asymmetric catalytic C-C bond formation. This review highlights recent developments.
