Cofactor control of catalysis enantioselectivity

Cofactors (light blue) can influence the enantioselectivity of catalysts © J. Am. Chem. Soc.

Scientists have used cofactors to control the enantioselectivity of supramolecular transition metal catalysts, enabling the asymmetric hydrogenation of a series of acrylates and related compounds with remarkably high selectivities. This strategy could be useful in the search for new catalysts for fine chemical production. More...
