Chiral phosphoric acids (CPAs) have been used as efficient organocatalysts since the first
examples were reported 18 years ago by Akiyama and Terada. Although they were …

The ortho-directed lithiation of aromatic carbamates and carbonates causes a migration of
the substituent from the pendant O group to the adjacent C atom of the aromatic scaffold …

Abstract The Friedel‐Crafts reaction represents one of the most efficient tools for the
formation of carbon‐carbon bonds and direct derivatization of aromatic compounds …

Although BINOL‐derived phosphoric acids are among the most widely used chiral Brønsted
acid organocatalysts, their structures are mostly limited to 3, 3′‐disubstituted ones and …

unsubstituted 2‐(1H‐indol‐2‐yl) ethanamines were employed for the first time to react with
alkynoic acids (AAs) to achieve gold‐catalyzed highly selective cascade reactions to furnish …

Ferrocene (Fc) as a privileged framework for chiral organocatalysts (Orgcat) has been
developed rapidly in recent years. Herein, five categories have been summarized, including …

Since the pioneering independent reports of Akiyama and Terada, the use of chiral
phosphoric acids (CPAs) and derivatives as a versatile tool for asymmetric synthesis with …

Chiral α-alkyl α-glycine acids are prevalent structural motifs found in pharmaceuticals and
natural products, making them a significant dimension for exploration in modern …

This manuscript discloses the first use of chiral phosphates based on C2‐symmetric
paracyclophane scaffolds as chiral counterions in transition metal catalysis, showing that …

This personal account summarizes the design of various organocatalysts derived from
amino acids and Cinchona alkaloids and their applications in enantioselective carbon …
