Enantioselective catalysis

Ai-Lan Lee


The following review highlights significant advances in the field of asymmetric synthesis, with a mechanistic and catalysis flavour. Since this is the first review in Annual Reports B on this series, major advances from 2008 as well as a few older papers will be covered. Key advances in enantioselective Heck couplings, alkene metathesis and catalysis by interlocked architectures will be emphasised.
