Chiral catalysts play a crucial role in the realm of asymmetric catalysis. Since their
breakthrough discovery in 2006, chiral frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) have risen as a novel …

In this feature, we review the current capabilities of local electron correlation methods up to
the coupled cluster model with single, double, and perturbative triple excitations [CCSD (T)] …

Asymmetric hydrogenation, a seminal strategy for the synthesis of chiral molecules, remains
largely unmet in terms of activation by non‐metal sites of heterogeneous catalysts. Herein …

Sterically hindered Lewis acid and base centers are unable to form Lewis adducts, instead
forming frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs), where latent reactivity can be utilized for the activation …

Abstract B (C6F5) 3‐catalyzed one‐pot tandem cyclization/hydrosilylation of easily
accessible 1, 2‐diaminobenzenes and 1, 2‐and 1, 3‐diketones with …

Reductive coupling of amines with CO2 and H2 can be catalyzed by transition metals.
However, functional group (FG) tolerance is improved when using auxiliary main group …

A method of desymmetrization of geminal difluoroalkanes using frustrated Lewis pair (FLP)
mediated monoselective C–F activation where a chiral sulfide is the Lewis base component …

Using the principle that constrained conformational spaces can generate novel and hidden
molecular properties, we challenged the commonly held perception that a single-centered …

The field of asymmetric catalysis has witnessed tremendous development since its
discovery, and this has recently culminated in the Nobel prize given to Benjamin List and …

Diazo compounds and their precursors represent an interesting chemical category for
organic synthesis. Particularly, N-tosylhydrazones have attracted attention for their easy …
