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 …

Enantioselective synthesis with small-molecule chiral hydrogen-bond donors has emerged
as a frontier of research in the field of asymmetric catalysis. Organic chemists have …

Hydrogen bonding is responsible for the structure of much of the world around us. The
unusual and complex properties of bulk water, the ability of proteins to fold into stable three …

Interest in multicomponent reactions (MCRs) has surged during the past two decades as
interest in the efficient synthesis of small molecule libraries has gained prominence. MCRs …

In this critical review, the progress in catalytic asymmetric synthesis of β-amino acids is
discussed, covering the literature since 2002. The review treats transition metal catalysis …

Binaphthol-derived monophosphoric acids have been designed as novel chiral Brønsted-
acid catalysts. The chiral phosphoric acids thus developed function as efficient …

The enantioselective production of compounds is a central theme in current research. The
broad utility of synthetic chiral molecules as single-enantiomer pharmaceuticals, in …

Chiral, metal-free Brønsted bases have been demonstrated capable of catalyzing several
types of C–C and C–X bond-forming reactions with high chemical and stereochemical …

This article reviews the applications of cinchona alkaloids as asymmetric catalysts. In the last
few years, characterized by the resurgence of interest in asymmetric organocatalysis …

Methods for enantioselective C–C bond constructions via additions to imines and related
compounds are reviewed, with an emphasis on the most recent efforts involving asymmetric …
