Carbohydrate-based N-heterocyclic carbenes for enantioselective catalysis

The synthesis of carbohydrate-based N-heterocyclic carbene ligands for the Rh-catalysed asymmetric hydrosilylation of ketones has been explored. Initial studies utilised an alkylation approach to globally modify the hydroxyl functionality of a D-glucosamine scaffold. This strategy was amenable to a...
