Nickel-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of unsaturated C=C and C=N bonds using formic acid

This thesis describes my work on nickel-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of unsaturated C=C and C=N bonds using formic acid. It contains three main parts. Chapter one reports a highly enantioselective asymmetric hydrogenation of hydrazones with a chiral ligand, (S)-Binapine. Both aryl an...
