Evolution of design approaches in asymmetric organocatalysis over the last decade
This perspective intends to cover the vast field of asymmetric organocatalysis and its evolution during the last ten years. This work has evaluated the corresponding timeline of the progression of the field concerning the main synthetic approaches as ...

Experimental and Theoretical Evidence for Nitrogen-Fluorine Halogen Bonding in Silver-Initiated Radical Fluorinations [PDF]
We report experimental and computational evidence for nitrogen–fluorine halogen bonding in Ag(I)-initiated radical C–H fluorinations. Simple pyridines form [N–F–N]+ halogen bonds with Selectfluor to facilitate single-electron reduction by catalytic Ag ...

Enantioselective Organocatalytic Diels-Alder Trapping of Photochemically Generated Hydroxy-o-Quinodimethanes [PDF]
The photoenolization/Diels-Alder strategy offers straightforward access to synthetically valuable benzannulated carbocyclic products. This historical light-triggered process has never before succumbed to efforts to develop an enantioselective catalytic ...

Cinchona Alkaloid-Catalyzed Asymmetric Conjugate Additions: The Bifunctional Brønsted Acid-Hydrogen Bonding Model. [PDF]
Wynberg's report from 1977 that natural cinchona alkaloids catalyze the asymmetric conjugate addition of aromatic thiols to cycloalkenones is a landmark discovery in hydrogen bonding organocatalysis.

Asymmetric Orbifold Models of Non-supersymmetric Heterotic Strings [PDF]
We investigate asymmetric orbifold models constructed from non-supersymmetric heterotic strings. We systematically classify the asymmetric orbifold models with standard embeddings and present a list of asymmetric orbifolds which are geometrically interpreted as toroidal compactifications of non-supersymmetric heterotic strings. By studying non-standard

Asymmetric additions to dienes catalysed by a dithiophosphoric acid. [PDF]
Chiral Brønsted acids (proton donors) have been shown to facilitate a broad range of asymmetric chemical transformations under catalytic conditions without requiring additional toxic or expensive metals.

Stabilizing spiral structures in the asymmetric May-Leonard model [PDF]
We study the induction and stabilization of spiral structures for the cyclic three-species stochastic May-Leonard model with asymmetric predation rates on a spatially inhomogeneous two-dimensional toroidal lattice using Monte Carlo simulations. In an isolated setting, strongly asymmetric predation rates lead to rapid extinction from coexistence of all ...

Design, synthesis, and evaluation of chiral thiophosphorus acids as organocatalysts
A series of P-stereogenic chiral phosphorus acids (CPAs) were synthesized to determine the requirements for efficient asymmetric organocatalysis. In order to eliminate the need for C2-symmetry in common CPAs, various scaffolds containing C1-symmetrical ...
