Recent advancements in enantioselective catalysis have the potential to revolutionize the way certain molecules are made. This could be especially impactful in the production of chiral pyrrolidinyl compounds, which are essential components of many pharmaceutical drugs and agricultural chemicals. A team of researchers has now developed a new method for the synthesis of these compounds using a nickel catalyst and a chiral auxiliary. This method is highly efficient and has the potential to be applied to a wide range of other molecules. The team’s findings are set to be published in the journal Angewandte Chemie.
