The nadir (UK: /ËnÃ¦dÉªÉr/), (US: /ËneÉªdÉªÉr/) (from Arabic: ÙØ¸ÙØ±ââ / ALA-LC: naáºÄ«r, meaning counterpart) is the direction pointing directly below a particular location; that is, it is one of two vertical directions at a specified location, orthogonal to a horizontal flat surface there.
Asymmetric hydrogenation is a chemical reaction that adds two atoms of hydrogen preferentially to one of two faces of an unsaturated substrate molecule, such as an alkene or ketone.ne of these is in the asymmetric hydrogenation of N-unfunctionalized imines to give primary amines. Such species can be difficult to selectively reduce because they tend to exist in complex equilibria of imine and enamine tautomers, as well as (E) and (Z) isomers.
Asymmetric synthesis 1. Producing a new stereogenic centre on an achiral molecule makes two enantiomeric transition states of equal energy â¦ and therefore two enantiomeric products in equal amounts.NOPhLiNPhOHNHOPh+ R 1 R 2 O R 1 R 2 O R 1 R 2 N uOuR 2 R 1 OHNuR 2 OHNu E.

Thus one isomer of the new stereogenic centre can be produced in a larger amount.symmetric synthesis 1.
