Explores metal-ligand dual activation in asymmetric reactions, including cyanide addition and Noyori hydrogenation, emphasizing the role of bifunctional catalysts and chiral acids.
Introduces the basics of heterogeneous catalysis, focusing on catalyst types, surface reactivity, and the role of surface energy in catalytic processes.
Explores catalytic asymmetric reactions in organic chemistry, covering LUMO activation, Lewis and Brønsted acids activation, and dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation.
