StackPhos: From Structural Curiosity to Enantioselective Catalysis
Aaron Aponick (University of Florida)
The development of new chiral ligands for enantioselective catalysis continues to be an important research area as the products impact a broad range of disciplines driven by organic synthesis. Our group has been involved in designing chiral biaryl P,N-ligands that incorporate a 5-membered heterocycle into the biaryl backbone. This lecture will describe the design and implementation of StackPhos, an imidazole-based P,N-ligand with unique ligation properties and catalytic activity. Additionally, recent results from my laboratory on new ligand congeners and enantioselective transformations will be presented.
