The origins of asymmetric induction in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling reaction are investigated computationally with density functional theory. Monophosphine-bound palladium complexes are analyzed in the context of oxidative addition to aryl halides, and ligands are explored in terms of steric and electronic effects relevant to oxidative addition. As one of the most successful ligands to date for the asymmetric Suzuki reaction, KenPhos is given substantial attention and subjected to detailed structural analysis. The analysis leads to proposals for new ligands that may enhance the asymmetry of oxidative addition, and some initial synthetic work in that capacity is presented Thesis Supervisor: Professor Stephen L. Buchwald
