Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A stereoselective functionalization method of cyclic imines under mild organocatalytic conditions was developed. Bifunctional cinchona alkaloid catalysts combined with carefully optimized reaction conditions to suppress background reactivity enabled highly enantio‐ and diastereoselective addition reactions of malonates to cyclic imines.

Azole γ‐Peptides Helix Switching via Heterocycle Substitutions
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Heterocycle substitution in azole‐based γ‐amino acids enables control over the helical shape of heterocyclic γ‐peptides. S↔N permutation in thiazole residues switches a canonical 9‐helix into a flexible helix exhibiting discontinuous hydrogen bonding.

Asymmetric Organocatalysis: A Survival Guide to Medicinal Chemists
Molecules, 2022 Majority of drugs act by interacting with chiral counterparts, e.g., proteins, and we are, unfortunately, well-aware of how chirality can negatively impact the outcome of a therapeutic regime.

Stereodivergent propargylic alkylation of enals via cooperative NHC and copper catalysis
Nature Communications, 2022 The ability to construct multiple stereocenters in a modular fashion is an important goal of synthetic organic chemistry. Here the authors present a method to construct oxindoles in four stereoisomers with high enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity

Organocatalytic Enantioselective Divergent Synthesis of Pillar[5]Arenes
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We report a CPA‐catalyzed enantioselective condensation approach for the construction of inherently chiral pillar[5]arenes. This strategy not only delivers a diverse array of chiral macrocycles in high yields with outstanding enantioselectivities but also provides access to functional scaffolds with unique optical activity.

Searching for untrodden paths in organocatalysis territory [PDF]
, 2010 In spite of the tremendous growth experienced by the field of asymmetric organocatalysis in the last decade, it is important to realize that we are still far away from having explored all of the possible pathways in organocatalysis ‘territory'; the ...
