The legacy of Professor Li-Xin Dai: Organometallic and asymmetric catalysis

Abstract

Prof. Li-Xin Dai will always be remembered for his development of organometallic chemistry and asymmetric synthesis, especially for the refining and synthesis of aureomycin, organoboron chemistry, and the development of novel chiral ligands for transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions. In addition to making significant contributions to science, Prof. Dai has also made a profound impact as an esteemed educator and mentor, imparting his knowledge and work ethic to future generations of chemists and fostering fruitful collaborations with his colleagues.
