Homochiral Acyl Isocyanates as Diagnostic NMR Probes for the Enantiomeric Purity of Chiral Alcohols

GREGORY H. P. ROOS, Anthony R. Donovanb · Sultan Qaboos University Journal for Science · 2000 · 10.24200/squjs.vol5iss0pp11-23

The first reported acyl and sulfonylisocyanates were developed and tested in reactions with chiral alcohols to afford diastereomeric carbamates. NMR analysis of these investigates the chemical shift discrimination that would allow these activated isocyanates to be used as diagnostic probes of enantiomeric purity.

Dirhodium(II) Carbenes: The Chiral Product Cascade

GREGORY H. P. ROOS, Conrad E. Raab, S.K.M. Al-Hatmi · Sultan Qaboos University Journal for Science · 2000 · 10.24200/squjs.vol5iss0pp73-113

The last decade has witnessed enormous growth in the spectrum of highly efficient asymmetric synthetic transformations. One prominent example of this progress is the application of dirhodium (II) carbenes generated from diazo- precursors. Innovative construction of ‘designer’ catalysts has played a integral role in ext …
