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 …

Chiral secondary amines are some of the most commonly used kinds of catalysts. They have
become a reliable tool for the α-and β-activation of carbonyl compounds, via HOMO, SOMO …

Sustainability in chemical synthesis is a major aspect of the current synthetic endeavors and,
therefore, mimicking the biological process in the laboratory nowadays has the highest …

Compared to γ‐addition, the α‐addition of α‐branched β, γ‐unsaturated aldehydes faces
larger steric hindrance and disrupts the π–π conjugation, which might be why very few …

Reported herein is a photochemical cascade process that combines the excited‐state and
ground‐state reactivity of chiral organocatalytic intermediates. This strategy directly converts …

One central challenge for XXI century chemists is the development of sustainable processes
that do not represent a risk either to humanity or to the environment. In this regard, the …

Due to their unique activation modes, small organic molecule catalysts (organocatalysts)
have proved their potential in facilitating the remote functionalizations of unsaturated …

Asymmetric catalysis is a rapidly evolving field in synthetic chemistry. This is due to the
growing needs of stereoselective synthetic routes to access enantiopure natural products …

Since the turn of the millennium, catalytic reactions promoted by primary or secondary
amines have emerged as a highly useful method for organic chemistry. Very recently, the …
