Abstract
The manuscript gives an overview mainly on the results performed at the Department of Organic Chemistry the University of Szeged on the enantioselective hydrogenation of activated ketones of various structures on Pt/alumina catalysts modified with cinchona alkaloids. Relevant results by other research groups are also referred too. The review covers the literature till the end of 2004.
Keywords: cinchonidine, Orito reaction, chemisorption mechanism, dodecahydrocinchonidine, methyl pyruvate

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
