ChemInform Abstract: Highly Selective Metal Catalysts for Intermolecular Carbenoid Insertion into Primary C—H Bonds and Enantioselective C—C Bond Formation.

Abstract

Enantioselective C-C Bond Formation. -A Rh-complex of bis-pocket porphyrin catalyzes carbenoid insertion into CH bonds of n-alkanes with high primary/secondary selectivity. Enantioselective secondary CH-bond functionalization catalyzed by a Rh complex of Halterman's chiral porphyrin features up to 93% e.
