Givaudan Karrer Lecture 2019

The Department of Chemistry of the University of Zurich is pleased to announce the Givaudan-Karrer Lectures 2019 by Prof. Dr. Andreas Pfaltz.

The course will cover topics in the field of asymmetric catalysis. After a historical perspective and a description of general principles, selected classes of chiral catalysts and enantioselective reactions will be discussed. In addition, a mass spectrometric screening method for enantioselective catalysts will be introduced.

Lecture Topics

  • Historical perspective. General principles. Catalyst and ligand design (Lecture 1).
  • Asymmetric hydrogenation: neighboring group-directed reactions, enantioselective hydrogenation with Rh- and Ru-diphosphine catalysts, enantioselective hydrogenation of unfunctionalized olefins with Ir-P,N-ligand complexes (Lectures 2-6).
  • Enantioselective oxidation reactions (Lecture 7).
  • Enantioselective allylic substitutions (Lectures 8-11).
  • Mass spectrometric screening of chiral catalysts and catalyst mixtures (Lecture 12).
