This thesis describes my work on nickel-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of unsaturated C=C and C=N bonds using various hydride sources. It contains three main parts. Chapter one reported a highly enantioselective asymmetric hydrogenation of a,b-unsaturated esters with a chiral phosphin...
