In this review, we consider the main processes for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of
ketones from 2008 up today. The most effective organometallic compounds (derived from …

The β-ketoester structural motif continues to intrigue chemists with its electrophilic and
nucleophilic sites. Proven to be a valuable tool within organic synthesis, natural product, and …

Chiral cyclopentadienyl‐rhodium (III) CpxRh (III) catalysis has been demonstrated to be
competent for catalyzing highly enantioselective aziridination of challenging unactivated …

1, 2, 3, 4-Tetrahydroisoquinoline is one of the most important “privileged scaffolds” present
in natural products. C1-chiral tetrahydroisoquinolines have exhibited a wide variety of …

Tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) scaffolds are important structural units that widely exist in a
variety of natural alkaloids and synthetic analogues. Asymmetric synthesis of C 1-chiral …

A three-component reaction of (E)-2-ethynylphenylchalcone, sulfonyl azide, and amine
catalyzed by copper (I) chloride (5 mol%), in the presence of triethylamine, under mild …

Chiral proline amide/amine ligands (2, 3), synthesized by multi-step reaction starting from l-
proline (1), were evaluated as catalyst generated in situ from [RuCl 2 (p-cymene)] 2 for …

For the first time an organocatalyst bearing a secondary nitrogen within a cyclohexane ring
has been evaluated in the asymmetric Diels–Alder reaction. This organocatalyst is also the …

A novel family of tetrahydroisoquinoline (TIQ) phosphine–oxazoline ligands and four
corresponding iridium complexes have been developed and applied to the asymmetric …

We report here a practical and efficient synthesis of diethyl 1, 2, 3, 4‐tetrahydroisoquinoline‐
3‐phosphonate derivatives. The target compounds were prepared in good yield using a …
