1. Reactivity and Selectivity Studies in Iridium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation
Abstract : Transition-metal catalyzed stereoselective hydrogenation constitutes an indispensable method for the preparation of chiral molecules. The work in this thesis describes the development of efficient catalytic asymmetric hydrogenations with a focus on the elucidation of reactivity patterns and chemoselectivity in hydrogenations.

3. Iridium Catalysed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Olefins and Isomerisation of Allylic Alcohols
Abstract : The work described in this thesis is focused on exploring the efficacy of asymmetric iridium catalysis in the hydrogenation of challenging substrates, including precursors to chiral sulfones and chiral cyclohexanes. Furthermore, iridium catalysis was used to isomerise allylic alcohols to aldehydes, and in a formal total synthesis of Aliskiren (a renin inhibitor). READ MORE
