BACKGROUND The ultimate goal of synthetic chemistry is the efficient assembly of
molecules from readily available starting materials with minimal waste generation. The …

Conspectus Aspects of sustainability are playing an increasingly important role for the
development of new synthetic methods. In this context, the combination of asymmetric …

Asymmetric transition-metal catalysis has had a far-reaching impact on chemical synthesis.
However, non-precious metal-catalysed strategies that provide direct entry to compounds …

Complete control of the product of a catalytic reaction can be achieved on the basis of
catalyst structure, even when the reaction conditions are nearly identical. Catalyst‐controlled …

We report the highly isoselective ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of racemic β-
butyrolactone (β-BL) using in situ-generated catalysts based on Y [N (SiHMe2) 2] 3 (THF) 2 …

Catalytic asymmetric electrosynthesis combines the unique features of an electrochemical
addition or removal of electrons with the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of enantioenriched …

The discovery of highly enantioselective catalysts and elucidating their generality face great
challenges due to the complex multidimensional chemical space of asymmetric catalysis …

The combined catalytic systems derived from organocatalysts and transition metals exhibit
powerful activation and stereoselective-control abilities in asymmetric catalysis. This work …

Arynes, strained cyclic alkynes, and strained cyclic allenes were validated as plausible
intermediates in the 1950s and 1960s. Despite initially being considered mere scientific …

Over the past two decades, supramolecular gels have attracted significant attention from
scientists in diverse research fields and have been extensively developed. This review …
