Virtual Lecture: Development of Chiral Catalysts for Asymmetric C-H Functionalization

Lecture held on: April 25

Presenter

Prof. Shigeki Matsunaga – Department of Chemistry, Kyoto University

In this lecture, Prof. Shigeki Matsunaga discussed recent advances in asymmetric C-H functionalization under Cp*M(III)/organo-hybrid catalysts as well as in chiral paddle-wheel Ru(II)-Ru(III) catalysis. The Ru(II)-Ru(III) complexes show unique and distinct catalytic activity in comparison with well known chiral paddle-wheel Rh(II)-Rh(II) complexes. Basic properties of Ru(II)-Ru(III) complexes as well as asymmetric C-H amination, cyclopropanation and hetero-Diels-Alder reactions were explained.
