Scaffolding Catalysis: Towards Regioselective Hydroformylation of Alkenes and Site-Selective Functionalization of Polyhydroxylated Molecules

Thesis advisor: Kian L. Tan === Chapter 1. We reported the first synthesis of all-carbon quaternary centers via hydroformylations using a catalytic directing group. With the ability of reversibly and covalently binding to a substrate, and coordinating to a metal center, scaffolding catalyst 1.1 is a...
