New Chiral Ligand

In collaboration with Prof Hon Wei Lam (also of the CNL) we have developed a low-cost synthesis of a pair of pseudoenantiomeric chiral diene ligands that allow all types of rhodium-catalysed asymmetric conjugate additions to be carried out at high efficiency.

Groups Worldwide are currently helping us validate the use of these new highly useful chiral ligands

For further details see: 'A Scalable Synthesis of Chiral Himbert Diene Ligands for Asymmetric Catalysis' (doi link), or contact us directly.
