Carbon dioxide (CO2) has been anticipated as an ideal carbon building block for organic
synthesis due to the noble properties of CO2, which are abundant renewable carbon …

Catalytic asymmetric carbon–carbon bond‐forming reactions provide one of the most
efficient ways to synthesize optically active compounds, and, accordingly, many chiral …

Asymmetric catalysis refers to the process in which less than stoichiometric concentrations of
the catalyst are used for synthesis of one enantiomer preferentially over the other. This …

Use of chiral solvents in asymmetric synthesis as a sole source of enantioselection remains
largely unexplored in organic synthesis. We found that the use of a helical macromolecular …

Applications of microflow conditions for visible light photoredox catalysis have successfully
been developed. Operationally simple microreactor and FEP (fluorinated ethylene …

Asymmetric catalysis in flow has been attracting much attention very recently because of the
potential advantages over its batchwise counterpart, such as high-throughput screening and …

Catalytic asymmetric conjugate addition reactions represent a powerful strategy to access
chiral molecules in contemporary organic synthesis. However, their applicability to …

For almost 20 years, thioureas have been experiencing a renaissance of interest with the
emerged development of asymmetric organocatalysts. Due to their relatively high acidity and …

The helical organization of oligo‐p‐phenylene‐based organogelators has been investigated
by atomic force microscopy, circular and vibrational circular dichroism, and Raman …

Due to the high versatility of chiral cyanohydrins, the catalytic asymmetric cyanation reaction
of carbonyl compounds has attracted widespread interest. However, efficient protocols that …
