Aponick Group Research Highlighted in Nature Chemistry

“In the Aponick group, Flavio Cardoso has been studying the preparation of a new class of biaryl ligands for asymmetric catalysis. Biaryls containing 5-membered heterocycles were hypothesized to be excellent P,N-ligands, but their preparation as a single enantiomer required new design strategies. Cardoso and Aponick, with Khalil Abboud, recently published their new approach involving ground … Read more
