COST-Action D24 - Sustainable Chemical Processes: Stereoselective Transition Metal-Catalysed Reactions

Short description (English)

The objective of the project is to develop efficient catalytic methods for asymmetric transfer of carbenes and nitrenes starting from diazo compounds and/or phenyliodonium ylides. Alternatively, catalytic methods will be developed to transform symmetrical cyclopropanes or aziridines into chiral products.
