Base-free enantioselective SN2 alkylation of 2-oxindoles via bifunctional phase-transfer catalysis
N-Protected oxindole derivatives of unprecedented malleability bearing ester moieties at C-3 have been shown to participate in enantioselective phase-transfer-catalysed alkylations promoted by ad-hoc designed quaternary ammonium salts derived from ...

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.

Catalytic Strategies for Amide‐Based Michael Additions: Advances and Perspectives
The Michael addition is a cornerstone transformation in organic synthesis, enabling efficient C–C and C–heteroatom bond formation. Traditionally, α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds such as enones and esters have dominated as Michael acceptors, whereas α,β‐unsaturated amides remain underutilized due to their strong resonance stabilization and low ...

Multispecies Solidarity: How People and Cinchona Survived the COVID‐19 Pandemic in Loja, Ecuador
ABSTRACT This article uses the case of Cinchona officinalis entrepreneurship during the COVID‐19 pandemic to explore how dynamics of care and extraction figure within the construct of multispecies solidarity. C. officinalis is an endangered medicinal tree that holds global historical significance as a natural source of quinine.

Enantioselective alkylation of β-keto esters promoted by dimeric Cinchona-derived ammonium salts as recoverable organocatalysts [PDF]
Dimeric anthracenyldimethyl-derived Cinchona ammonium salts are used as chiral organocatalysts in 5 mol% for the phase-transfer enantioselective alkylation reaction of 2-alkoxycarbonyl-1-indanones with activated bromides.

Antiparasitic hybrids of Cinchona alkaloids and bile acids.
A series of 16 hybrids of Cinchona alkaloids and bile acids (4a-h, 5a-h) was prepared by means of a Barton-Zard decarboxylation reaction. Quinine, quinidine, cinchonine and cinchonidine were functionalized at position C-2 of the quinoline nucleus by ...
