Ei-ichi Negishi (2015) - How to Synthesize a Wide Variety of Optically Active Organic and Bioorganic Compounds of >99% Optical Purity

The discovery and synthetic applications of a widely applicable and highly enantioselective (99% ee) protocol consisting of the ZACA reaction (Zr-catalyzed asymmetric carboalumination of alkenes), purification of the ZACA-products by lipase-catalyzed acetylation, and subsequent transformations, such as Pd- or Cu-catalyzed cross-coupling a..
