Reactions carried out with substoichiometric quantities of organic molecules as catalysts have received much attention over the past decade. This review highlights progress in 2010 towards highly enantioselective organocatalytic systems and the natural product/biologically active compounds that can be prepared using these types of processes.

Whole Cells as Biocatalysts in Organic Transformations
Currently, the power and usefulness of biocatalysis in organic synthesis is undeniable, mainly due to the very high enantiomeric excess reached using enzymes, in an attempt to emulate natural processes.

N‐heterocyclic carbene catalyzed photoenolization/Diels–Alder reaction of acid fluorides [PDF]
The combination of light activation and N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis has enabled the use of acid fluorides as substrates in a UVA‐light‐mediated photochemical transformation previously observed only with aromatic aldehydes and ketones ...

Kinetics and mechanism of organocatalytic aza-Michael additions: direct observation of enamine intermediates. [PDF]
The imidazoles 1a–g add to the CC-double bond of the iminium ion 2 with rate constants as predicted by the equation log k = sN(N + E). Unfavourable proton shifts from the imidazolium unit to the enamine fragment in the adduct 3 account for the failure of
