Asymmetric Organocatalysis in Deep Eutectic Solvents
The recent advances in asymmetric organocatalysis using eutectic mixtures as a reaction medium are revised in this mini-review. In addition, the first enantioselective transformations using chiral eutectic solvents, which play the role of a green medium ...

Privileged Chiral Photocatalysts
Privileged chiral catalysts have transformed asymmetric synthesis, conferring generality to processes that are routinely leveraged in the construction of societally important functional small molecules. This mini‐review is intended to survey the conception and evolution of privileged chiral photocatalyst scaffolds that enable simultaneous orchestration

Nitriles have proven to be useful functional groups in pharmaceuticals and polymers, both as active moieties themselves or as easy precursors to further transformations, but synthesis of benzonitriles with axial chirality has often been difficult.

Organocatalytic C─O Bond Cleavage and Asymmetric Transformations via [1,3]‐Sigmatropic Rearrangement
A direct asymmetric strategy for fulfilling the functional group transfer by aryl ether cleavage and migration is developed, representing the first Brønsted base‐catalyzed asymmetric [1,3]‐sigmatropic rearrangement reaction. The resulting chiral benzofuran products generated through this strategy exhibit significant 3D‐dimensionality and demonstrate ...

Do We Need Asymmetric Organocatalysis?
Asymmetric organocatalysis is a 'fast lane' of the chemical highway: the progress in the last decade is simply spectacular. This introductory article summarizes basic principles, historical background, and discusses basic catalyst classes and ...

In 1971, chemists from Hoffmann-La Roche and Schering AG independently discovered a new asymmetric intramolecular aldol reaction catalyzed by the natural amino acid proline, a transformation now known as the Hajos–Parrish–Eder–Sauer–Wiechert reaction ...

Organocatalytic Lewis base functionalisation of carboxylic acids, esters and anhydrides via C1-ammonium or azolium enolates [PDF]
This tutorial review highlights the organocatalytic Lewis base functionalisation of carboxylic acids, esters and anhydrides via C1-ammonium/azolium enolates.

Chiral bifunctional dual H-bond donor catalysts have become one of the pillars of organocatalysis. They include squaramide, thiosquaramide, thiourea, urea, and even selenourea-based catalysts combined with chiral amines, cinchona alkaloids, sulfides ...

We developed cyclic (diacyloxyiodo)arenes to overcome the reactivity/selectivity paradox in iodine chemistry. This new platform enables simple, one‐pot synthesis of diverse hypervalent iodine(III) reagents. The method is sustainable, catalytic, works for asymmetric reactions, and is biocompatible (e.g., modifying peptides).
