A novel C1-symmetric dinitrogen ligand was synthesized in high yield from commercially available (1R,2R,3R,5S)-(-)-isopinocampheylamine and 1-methyl-2-imidazolecarboxaldehyde. In combination with Cu(OAc)2H2O, this new ligand promote the reaction between nitromethane and aliphatic aldehydes with high yields (up to 97%) and moderate enantioselectivities (up to 67% ee). The reactions with benzaldehyde required prolonged reaction time that resulted in diminished yields, but accompanied with ee-values in the 55%-76% range.

The first rhodium(I)-catalyzed enantioselective Si-H insertion reaction of α-diazoesters and α-diazophosphonates has been developed. The use of a C1-symmetric chiral diene ligand enabled the asymmetric reaction to proceed under exceptionally mild conditions and give versatile chiral α-silyl esters and phosphonates with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). The mechanism and stereochemical pathway of this novel Rh(I)-carbene-directed Si-H insertion was investigated by deuterium kinetic isotope effect experiments and DFT calculations.

The present article summarizes the development of two novel and complementary catalytic methods to access alpha-chiral aldehydes. A C1-symmetric chiral (P,N) ligand with a structure derived from the ubiquitous binepine scaffold has been specifically designed for the Pd-catalyzed alpha-arylation of aldehydes to access indane derivatives with a well-defined quaternary stereocenter in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities. In addition, a dinuclear palladium hydride catalyst has been synthesized for the isomerization of terminal and trisubstituted epoxides into aldehydes and ketones respectively.

The following crystalline oligonuclear metal alkyls have been synthesised under mild conditions and structurally characterised: [(THF)Li(mu-A)(mu-Cl)(mu3-OMe)Zn]2, [Li(mu-A)2Tl]2(4 and 4'), [Li4(mu-A)3(micro3-OMe)]5, [(mu-A)Li2(mu-A)2(mu3-OMe)Ce(A)](6) and [Ce(A)(mu2-OMe){mu2-OS(O)(CF3)O}]2(11)[= CH(SiMe3){SiMe(OMe)2}]. Compounds 2-6 were obtained from [Li(mu-A)]infinity(1) and ZnCl2(3), TlCl (4 and 4' and 5) and CeCl3(6), and 11 was isolated from K(A)(prepared from 1 + KOBu(t)) and cerium(III) triflate Ce(OTf)3. The principal novel features are (i) and (ii) as follows.
