Stereoselective Organic Synthesis: Recent Advances Based on Catalytic Reactions of Boron Reagents

Organoboron reagents are important tools for stereoselective organic synthesis. This seminar will describe recent advances from our laboratory that allow for the production and use of these reagents in a catalytic asymmetric fashion. Efforts directed towards complex molecule synthesis, wherein appropriately configured reagents enable multiple C-C bond forming events, will also be described.
