Abstract
Utilization of catalytic directing groups in the regioselective hydroformylation of 1,2-disubstituted olefins and in the site-selective functionalization of 1,2-diols. Chapter One: Catalytic directing groups for the regioselective hydroformylation of allylic alcohols. Chapter Two: Scaffolding catalysis as an alternate and more practical solution to the site-selective functionalization of 1,2-diols.
