Hydrophobically directed aldol reactions: polystyrene-supported L-proline as a recyclable catalyst for direct asymmetric aldol reactions in the presence of water [PDF]
A simple synthetic methodology for the preparation of a polystyrene- supported L-proline material is reported, and this material has been used as catalyst in direct asymmetric aldol reactions between several ketones and arylaldehydes to furnish aldol

Volume inequalities for asymmetric Orlicz zonotopes [PDF]
In this paper, we deal with the asymmetric Orlicz zonotopes by using the method of shadow system. We establish the volume product inequality and volume ratio inequality for asymmetric Orlicz zonotopes, along with their equality cases.

Enantioselective Anion‐Binding‐Catalyzed Nucleophilic Addition to 4‐Quinolones
The first organocatalytic enantioselective formal 1,4‐addition to 4‐quinolones has been developed. This method relies on chiral triazole‐based anion‐binding catalysis using enol nucleophiles, complementing previous metal catalytic approaches. Moderate to good yields and enantioselectivities were achieved by in situ silylation and formation of a key ...

Renewal theory for asymmetric $U$-statistics [PDF]
We extend a functional limit theorem for symmetric $U$-statistics [Miller and Sen, 1972] to asymmetric $U$-statistics, and use this to show some renewal theory results for asymmetric $U$-statistics. Some applications are given.

Enantioselective Desymmetrization of Bisphenol Derivatives by Organocatalytic Sulfonylation
An efficient organocatalytic strategy involving the desymmetrization–sulfonylation of bisphenols is introduced for the synthesis of chiral 1,1‐diarylalkanes. A chiral thiourea catalyst enables the selective sulfonylation of one hydroxyl group with a sulfonyl chloride in a CHCl3/H2O system under basic conditions, affording the reaction products with ...

Asymmetric vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction of isatins under bifunctional organocatalysis: Enantioselective synthesis of substituted 3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles [PDF]
A highly enantioselective organocatalytic vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction of silyloxy dienes and isatins under bifunctional organocatalysis is presented. Substituted 3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles are synthesised in good yields and enantioselectivities. These
