Topic
Acid Catalysis for Asymmetric Synthesis
Series
Abstract
New reagents and catalysts have unlimited potential for the future of organic synthesis. We have been interested in Lewis and Brønsted acid catalysis for a number of years. In this lecture, I am going to focus on several of these acid and related catalysts from the molecular design and engineering.
