Abstract:
An overview focused on the synthesis, structural features and catalytic applications of chiral [Cr(Salen)] complexes is presented. Key aspects of modern organic chemistry such as Lewis acids, asymmetric catalysis and redox processes are strictly connected with chronium-Schiff base complexes. Among the asymmetric transformations mediated by [Cr(Salen)] complexes, Diels-Alder and hetero-Diels-Alder reactions, ARO of epoxides, kinetic resolution of meso-epoxides and Nozki-Hyama reactions are taken into account.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
