During the past four years, the research of new synthetic methodologies for the rapid
construction of enantiomerically pure substituted indole has had a fruitful and important …

Asymmetric aminocatalysis exploits the potential of chiral primary and secondary amines to
catalyze asymmetric reactions. It has greatly simplified the functionalization of carbonyl …

Chiral contact ion-pair catalysis with particular focus on metal-free processes is gaining in
interest. As a result, new perspectives are opened, and highly stereoselective …

Showing a backbone: The spiroketal backbone of the bis (phosphine) ligand 1 led to good
regio‐and enantioselectivity in the palladium‐catalyzed asymmetric allylic amination of …

Conspectus Enantioselective α-functionalizations of carbonyl compounds are fundamental
transformations for the asymmetric synthesis of organic compounds. One of the more recent …

Axially chiral compounds play an important role in areas such as asymmetric catalysis. The
tyrosine click-like reaction is an efficient approach for synthesis of urazoles with potential …

A chemo-and enantioselective [3+ 2] annulation of Morita–Baylis–Hillman carbonates of
isatins with propargyl sulfones was catalyzed by a β-ICD O-MOM ether 1c, affording …

Six years have passed since renewed attention was paid to primary amines as potential
organocatalysts in 2004. Numerous high quality studies in this field have provided chemists …
