Hydroxyamide-Based Ligands and Their Use in the Asymmetric Catalysis of Key Organic Transformations

Asymmetric ligands whose key functional component consists of an amide and hydroxyl functional groups, in the absence of other co-ordinating groups, are a relatively recent development in asymmetric catalysis. These ligands in combination with ruthenium, zinc, or titanium have catalyzed a range of key organic reactions showing high activity and selectivity. This review looks at the ligands reported and their performance as catalysts.
