1. Asymmetric Formation and Isomerization of Three-Membered Rings : Catalyst Development and Evaluation
Abstract : Enantiopure α-amino acid derivatives were prepared using a protocol which allows for highly controlled regio- and chemoselectivity in the hydrogenation/ hydrogenolysis of aza-Diels-Alder adducts. One of the resulting α-amino esters, (1S,3R,4R)-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester, was utilized further as a catalyst precursor. READ MORE

2. Towards Rational Design of Asymmetric Catalyst for Organometallic and Organocatalytic Reactions
Abstract : This thesis deals with synthetically modified chiral molecules and their application in asymmetric catalysis. The first part of the thesis describes the use of commercially available chiral diamine ligands in the iridium catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones. READ MORE

3. Synthesis and Applications of P-chirogenic Phosphine Boranes
Abstract : AbstractThis thesis reports the independent synthesis of both enantiomers of P-chirogenic phosphine ligands and the building blocks thereof, which are suitable for parallel synthesis efforts and for the generation of more diverse libraries of P-chirogenic compound. The use of P-chirogenic phosphine boranes in transition metal-catalyzed reactions, such as palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation and amination, is also described. READ MORE

4. Quantum Chemical Modelling of Enzymatic and Organometallic Reactions
Abstract : In this thesis, density functional theory (DFT) is employed in the study of two enzymes and two organometallic systems.First, the natural reaction mechanism, as well as the enantioselective formation of α-hydroxyketones catalysed by two thiamine diphosphate (ThDP)- dependent enzymes, namely benzoylformate decarboxylase (BFDC) and 2-succinyl-5-enolpyruvyl-6-hydroxy-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic-acid (SEPHCHC)- synthase (MenD), are investigated.

5. Asymmetric Synthesis using Redox-Active Diazocompounds as Chiral Carbon Atom Precursors
Abstract : This thesis summarizes the development of general and efficient methods to synthesize enantiomerically enriched cyclopropane compounds. The works reported herein exploit the opportunity presented by redox-active esters to explore the orthogonality between asymmetric carbene-transfer and geminal radical generation. READ MORE
