报告摘要(Abstract):
The need for reliable catalysts and methods for efficient and stereoselective formation of C–C bonds, and in particular reactions that generate quaternary carbon stereocenters, represents an important and difficult challenge in chemical synthesis. This lecture will focus on our recent progress in catalytic site- and stereoselective olefin and carbonyl coupling reactions. Through the choice of different metal-based catalysts and strategies, it will be demonstrated that practical and robust protocols have been developed with a range of simple organoboron reagents, which allow for efficient and stereoselective assembly of organic molecules.
