Abstract
The power of transition metal catalysis as a tool in organic synthesis is e xemplified by the recent progress in the following areas: (i) diastereocont rol of Pd(0)-, Mo(0)-, and Ni(0)-catalyzed allylic substitution; (ii) Pd(0) -catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution; (iii) Hartwig-Buchwald aminatio n; and (iv) Suzuki coupling. Development of novel, bidentate binaphthyl lig ands (MAP) and their unique mode of P,C-sigma-coordination is also describe d.
