  • Chiral acyclic diaminocarbene ligands, precursors therefore and their use in organic synthesis reactions
    Patent number: 8759541
    Abstract: The current application relates to a metal catalyst of formula (I): M[ADC][X]n, wherein M is a metal, ADC is a chiral acyclic diaminocarbene ligand, and X is a neutral or anionic ligand. The ADC ligand is prepared from the corresponding chiral formamidium salt precursor. The metal catalyst is used for asymmetric organic synthesis reactions such as hydrosilations, hydrogenations, conjugate additions, and cross-couplings.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 7, 2009
    Date of Patent: June 24, 2014
    Inventors: Avinash N. Thadani, Rukundo Ntaganda, Mira M. Beshai
