Bis(oxazolinyl)phenyl transition-metal complexes: asymmetric catalysis and some reactions of the metals

Hisao Nishiyama and Jun-ichi Ito


Several transition-metal complexes that bind the bis(oxazolinyl)phenyl moiety as a tridentate ligand have been prepared to showcase their highly potent activities for asymmetric catalysis in conjugate reductions, reductive aldol reactions, direct aldol reactions and hydrogenation reactions. Some reactions of the metals were also examined.
