Complete control of the product of a catalytic reaction can be achieved on the basis of
catalyst structure, even when the reaction conditions are nearly identical. Catalyst‐controlled …

Beyond a doubt organocatalysis belongs to the most exciting and innovative chapters of
organic chemistry today. Organocatalysis has emerged not only as a complement to metal …

A highly enantioselective aza-Darzens reaction (up to 99% ee) catalyzed by an enantiopure
supramolecular host has been discovered. To understand the role of host structure on …

A nuclearity‐dependent enantiodivergent epoxide opening reaction has been developed, in
which both antipodes of chiral alcohol products are selectively accessed by mononuclear …

The development of organocatalysts has greatly changed the art of organic transformation in
the chemical synthesis community for the past decades. Nature's work underpins the …

The design, synthesis, and development of a new class of modular, strongly basic, and
tunable bifunctional Brønsted base/H-bond-donor organocatalysts are reported. These …

A highly enantioselective Friedel–Crafts alkylation reaction of indoles with β-CF3-β-
disubstituted nitroalkenes was achieved using a Ni (ClO4) 2–bisoxazoline complex as a …
