The modes of supramolecular recognition of quaternary phosphonium cations mediated by 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) are identified and characterized. In contrast to our previous work on ammonium cations, the recognition of the quaternary phosphonium cat... Read More about Supramolecular Recognition of Quaternary Phosphonium Cations.

Enantioselective synthesis of ammonium cations (2021)
Journal Article
Walsh, M. P., Phelps, J. M., Lennon, M. E., Yufit, D. S., & Kitching, M. O. (2021). Enantioselective synthesis of ammonium cations. Nature, 597(7874), 70-76. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-021-03735-5

Control of molecular chirality is a fundamental challenge in organic synthesis. Whereas methods to construct carbon stereocentres enantioselectively are well established, routes to synthesize enriched heteroatomic stereocentres have garnered less att...
