In the investigation of efficient chemical transformations, the carbon-carbon bond-forming
reactions play an outstanding role. In this context, organocatalytic processes have achieved …

The chemistry of heterocyclic carbenes has experienced a rapid development over the last
years. In addition to the imidazolin‐2‐ylidenes, a large number of cyclic diaminocarbenes …

Organocatalyzed reactions represent an attractive alternative to metal‐catalyzed processes
notably because of their lower cost and benign environmental impact in comparison to …

Abstract The legacy of Gilbert Newton Lewis (1875–1946) pervades the lexicon of chemical
bonding and reactivity. The power of his concept of donor–acceptor bonding is evident in the …

The stereocontrolled construction of chiral carbo-and heterocycles is a topic of paramount
importance in modern organic synthesis, driven by the predominance of chiral mono-and …

Transition metal catalysis is a powerful means of effecting organic reactions, but it has some
inherent drawbacks, such as the cost of the catalyst and the toxicity of the metals …

The enantioselective production of compounds is a central theme in current research. The
broad utility of synthetic chiral molecules as single-enantiomer pharmaceuticals, in …

Enantioselective organocatalysis has emerged as a powerful synthetic paradigm that is
complementary to metal-catalysed transformations and has accelerated the development of …

Highly enantioselective, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed aza-Diels− Alder reactions
are described. A novel chiral triazolium salt based on the cis-1, 2-aminoindanol platform …
