Chiral Phosphorous Based Ligands in Earth-Abundant Transition Metal Catalysis summarizes the most significant progress in the field of chiral phosphine ligand chemistry and a broad range of earth-abundant transition metal/chiral phosphine ligand-catalyzed enantioselective transformations. The book provides an authoritative and in-depth understanding of important topics about asymmetric catalysis based on earth-abundant transition metals/chiral phosphine ligands, making it ideal for organic chemistry researchers working in the field of asymmetric catalysis, synthetic methodologies and total synthesis.The development of new chiral phosphine ligands to achieve precise stereo control in many earth-abundant transition metal-catalyzed reactions is a very important field in organic synthesis, materials science and medicinal chemistry. The asymmetric synthesis promoted by transition metal/chiral phosphine ligands provides one of the most ideal ways to produce valuable optically active chemicals.
