Nominator's project description
| Professor Rovis is well known internationally for his outstanding research in asymmetric transition-metal catalysis and natural product synthesis. He has made key contributions to the field of organo-catalysis, rhodium-catalysis and for the use of N-heterocyclic carbenes for asymmetric synthesis. In Germany, he will study new applications of zinc reagents in asymmetric catalysis using chiral NHC-ligands. |
