Chiral Brønsted acid-catalysed asymmetric synthesis has received tremendous interest over
the past decades, and numerous efficient synthetic methods have been developed based on …

N-Triflylphosphoramides (NTPA), have become increasingly popular catalysts in the
development of enantioselective transformations as they are stronger Brønsted acids than …

Since the pioneer reports of the groups of Akiyama and Terada on Brønsted acid
organocatalysis, this field never stopped growing with the development of ingenious …

In recent years, several organocatalytic asymmetric hydroarylations of activated, electron-
poor olefins with activated, electron-rich arenes have been described. In contrast, only a few …

A new type of chiral super Brønsted C–H acids, BINOL-derived phosphoryl bis
((trifluoromethyl) sulfonyl) methanes (BPTMs), were developed. As compared to widely …

The involvement of planar carbocation intermediates is generally considered undesirable in
asymmetric catalysis due to the difficulty in gaining facial control and their intrinsic stability …

An enantioselective reduction of simple carbenium ions with cyclohexadienes containing a
hydridic C− H bond at an asymmetrically substituted carbon atom is disclosed. The net …

An organocatalytic enantioselective formal hydroarylation of 2-vinyl indoles for the
preparation of enantioenriched 2, 3′-bis (indolyl) methanes bearing an all-carbon …

The enantioselective ketimine–ene reaction is one of the most challenging stereocontrolled
reaction types in organic synthesis. In this work, catalytic enantioselective ketimine–ene …

The enantioselective reaction of α-substituted β-nitroacrylates with oxazol-5-(4 H)-ones
(oxazolones) to construct consecutive tetrasubstituted stereogenic centers was …
