Abstract:This chapter focuses on the preparation of enantiopure 1,1 0 -unsymmetrically disubstituted ferrocenes and their applications in asymmetric catalysis. Notably, Gibson, Long, and coworkers have documented a comprehensive review on the synthesis and catalytic applications of unsymmetrical ferrocene ligands [1]. Enantiopure 1,1 0 -bidentate ferrocenyl ligands attracted much attention soon after the discovery of ferrocene, mainly due to their unique rigid binding mode and relatively straightforward synthesis.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
