Catalytic reactions can enhance the efficiency of chemical synthesis, decreasing environmental and financial cost. This project will undertake the discovery and development of reactions in which a catalyst enables a "production line" of events to provide complex and valuable products. These reactions will proceed with high shape selectivity (enantioselectivity). In addition to new chemical transformations the output of these studies includes intellectual capital and human resources, all of which are integral to sustaining a strong chemical manufacturing sector.
