Insights into transition metal catalysed asymmetric transformations

Thesis

A crucial element in successfully developing efficient asymmetric catalytic reactions is finding a suitable chiral catalyst. Ligand discovery/development is not always easy to achieve. The most common practice often relies on trial and error. To move away from this, we have adopted a systematic approach that integrates traditional experimental screening approaches with statistical models (QSSR) and DFT calculations. Our aim is to increase useful information drawn from the experimental resu...
