University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Natural products have been demonstrated to be of great significance to the pharmaceutical industry in the development of new drugs and medicine. Unfortunately, synthetic approaches to obtain these natural products often prove increasingly challenging due to the complexity of synthesizing the target drug in the proper stereochemistry. The availability of enantioselective reactions can play a pivotal role in overcoming this challenge, yielding access to optically pure intermediates and products. Chiral ligands based on a trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane motif are often employed for this purpose and their complexes with transition metals have been demonstrated to act as efficient chiral catalysts in asymmetric reactions. …
