Recent developments in catalytic asymmetric aldol reactions have been summarized.
Enantioselective aldol reactions are important methods to synthesize β-hydroxy carbonyl …

The development of catalytic enantioselective isocyanide‐based reactions is currently of
great interest because the resulting products are valuable in organic synthesis …

The first enantioselective formal [3+ 2] cycloaddition of aurone analogues with
isocyanoacetates was developed via chiral Ag-complex catalysis. A variety of optically …

The first enantioselective formal [3+ 2] cycloaddition between α-isocyanoesters and
trifluoromethylketones to give 5-trifluoromethyl-2-oxazolines bearing two contiguous …

A multicatalytic approach that combines a bifunctional Brønsted base–squaramide
organocatalyst and Ag+ as Lewis acid has been applied in the reaction of unactivated …

This review is devoted to the recent advances in the chemistry of methylene isocyanides
with C= C, C≡ C, C= O, and C= N bonds. In this paper, we show a variety of [3+ 2] …

In this work, a conceptually novel approach to diversely substituted 2‐(alkylsulfanyl)
quinolines is described. The approach includes the assembly of the target molecules from …

4-Fluoro-threonine, the only fluoro amino acid of natural origin discovered so far, is an
interesting target for both synthetic and theoretical investigations. In this work, we lay the …

This chapter discusses the five-membered ring systems with O & N atoms such as
isoxazoles, isoxazolines, isoxazolidines, oxazoles, oxazolines, oxazolidines, and …

The formal [3+ 2]-cycloaddition reaction of α-isocyano esters (isocyanoacetates) and
electrophilic double bonds provides a straightforward and atom economical access to five …
