N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis has emerged as a powerful strategy in organic
synthesis. In recent years a number of reviews have been published on NHC‐catalyzed …

This review highlights a number of additives that can be used to make asymmetric reactions
perfect. Without changing other reaction conditions, simply adding additives can lead to …

Asymmetric organocatalysis has experienced an incredible development since the
beginning of this century. The expansion of the field has led to a large number of efficient …

The principle of vinylogy states that the electronic effects of a functional group in a molecule
are possibly transmitted to a distal position through interposed conjugated multiple bonds …

Abstract Due to the competing 1, 4‐addition reactions and the distance from the chirality
information, the construction of a remote stereogenic center via 1, 6‐addition reactions is …

Cycloaddition reactions are among the most important tools for the construction of cyclic
compounds in organic synthesis, since these reactions are vital to access natural products …

Described herein is a general and mild catalytic asymmetric 1, 6‐conjugate addition of para‐
quinone methides (p‐QMs), a class of challenging reactions with previous limited success …

The organocatalytic asymmetric α-alkylation of aldehydes by 1, 6-conjugated addition of
enamines to p-quinone methides is described. Employing a newly developed class of chiral …

A highly stereoselective organocatalytic 1, 6-conjugate addition of 3-substituted oxindoles to
para-quinone methides to construct all-carbon quaternary stereocenters is described. In the …

Azlactones (also known as oxazolones) are heterocycles usually employed in the
stereoselective synthesis of α, α‐amino acids, heterocycles and natural products. The …
