This review covers diastereo-and enantiodivergent catalyzed reactions in acyclic and cyclic
systems using metal complexes or organocatalysts. Among them, nucleophilic addition to …

Chiral molecules containing asymmetric carbon centers bonded with nitrogen are ubiquitous
in nature and also form important structural fragments in both natural and man-made …

The addition of an allylic organometallic compound to a carbonyl compound or an imine is of
great synthetic interest because in this reaction together with a new functionality (hydroxyl or …

Amines are present in a large majority of drugs and drug candidates. Consequently, the
asymmetric synthesis of amine containing compounds represents an extremely important …

The review examines the chiral amine literature from 2000–2009 (May) concerning
enantioselective and diastereoselective methods for N‐acylenamide and enamine …

The well-known Strecker reaction was first documented by the German chemist Adolph
Strecker (1822À1871) in 1850. 1 It was one of the earliest one-pot and atom economic …

In the past few decades, it has become clear that asymmetric catalysis is one of the most
powerful methods for the construction of carbon–carbon as well as carbon–heteroatom …

Since Ellman's seminal works, over the past ten years tert-butanesulfinimines have proved
to be useful chiral amino intermediates for organic synthesis. Through highly stereoselective …

The main objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive survey of methods used for
stereoselective construction of carbon–nitrogen bonds during the total synthesis of nitrogen …

Although catalytic asymmetric synthesis has undergone tremendous growth in the last 30
years, chiral auxiliary-aided asymmetric synthesis continues to attract considerable …
