Non‐covalent molecular interactions on the basis of halogen and chalcogen bonding
represent a promising, powerful catalytic activation mode. However, these “unusual” non …

Covering: 1986 to 2020 Natural products are an enduring source of chemical information
useful for probing biologically relevant chemical space. Toward gathering further structure …

Abstract The importance of 1, 5‐O⋅⋅⋅ chalcogen (Ch) interactions in isochalcogenourea
catalysis (Ch= O, S, Se) is investigated. Conformational analyses of N‐acyl …

The past two decades have witnessed remarkable growth of asymmetric organocatalysis,
which is now a firmly established synthetic tool, serving as a powerful platform for the …

An enantioselective [4+ 3] cyclization via C (sp2)–H activation with a cooperative catalytic
system consisting of a Cp* Rh (III) complex and a chiral Lewis base is described. An α, β …

A protocol for the enantioselective synthesis of substituted vinylcyclopentanes has been
realised using cooperative palladium and isothiourea catalysis. Treatment of …

Isothiourea-catalyzed annulations between 2-acyl benzazoles and α, β-unsaturated acyl
ammonium intermediates are selectively tuned to form either lactam or lactone heterocycles …

Abstract C (1)‐Ammonium enolates are powerful, catalytically generated synthetic
intermediates applied in the enantioselective α‐functionalisation of carboxylic acid …

A tandem relay catalytic protocol using both Pd and isothiourea catalysis has been
developed for the enantioselective synthesis of α-amino acid derivatives containing two …

A pharmacophore-directed retrosynthetic strategy was applied to the first total synthesis of
the cembranoid rameswaralide in order to simultaneously achieve a total synthesis while …
