Chiral compounds play an important role in*pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. These molecules, which can exist as*mirror images (called enantiomers), are the building blocks of all life. It is*well established that the enantiomers of a compound can have vastly different*biological activities. It is a continuous challenge in organic chemistry to develop*robust and reliable asymmetric catalytic process that allow for the formation*of single enantiomers of chiral compounds. The field of Asymmetric, Ion Pairing*Catalysis represents an extremely promising and versatile approach for*generating a wide range of complex chiral molecules. While development*in this area of catalysis has been rapid, the rush to exploit the potential of*these methods has left a void between innovation and understanding. An in-depth*knowledge of the mechanisms of these catalysts is required to expand the arsenal*of reactions that can be performed with this asymmetric catalytic method.***The proposed*discovery research will provide fundamental insight into the mechanisms*of these asymmetric catalysts in generating single enantiomers of chiral*molecules. The proposed research will expand our arsenal of enantioselective*reactions, and lead the development of generally applicable, industrially*relevant catalytic methods*that will allow for the formation of previously unachievable complex chiral*molecules. Students*involved in this research program will develop skills in kinetic and computational*chemistry for exploring reactions mechanism and learn advanced synthesis and*characterization techniques that together will make them highly sought after*for their broad skill set.***
