Design of chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis: From C 2 -symmetric P,P- and N,N-ligands to sterically and electronically nonsymmetrical P,N-ligands

Design of chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis: From C 2 -symmetric P,P- and N,N-ligands to sterically and electronically nonsymmetrical P,N-ligands

For a long time, C 2 -symmetric ligands have dominated in asymmetric catalysis. More recently, nonsymmetrical modular P,N-ligands have been introduced. These ligands have been applied successfully in various metal-catalyzed reactions and, in many cases, have outperformed P,P- or N,N-ligands.
