Catalysis with chiral secondary amines (asymmetric aminocatalysis) has become a well‐
established and powerful synthetic tool for the chemo‐and enantioselective functionalization …

Asymmetric aminocatalysis exploits the potential of chiral primary and secondary amines to
catalyze asymmetric reactions. It has greatly simplified the functionalization of carbonyl …

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 …

N-Sulfonyl-1, 2, 3-triazoles react with water in the presence of a rhodium catalyst to produce
α-amino ketones in high yield. An intermediary α-imino rhodium (II) carbenoid undergoes …

Die Katalyse mit chiralen sekundären Aminen (asymmetrische Aminokatalyse) ist ein
leistungsfähiges Verfahren zur chemo‐und enantioselektiven Funktionalisierung von …

Here we report the direct asymmetric amination of α-substituted cyclic ketones catalyzed by
a chiral phosphoric acid, yielding products with a N-containing quaternary stereocenter in …

The Cinchona alkaloids are natural products found in the bark of trees of the genus
Cinchona. The genus comprises about 40 species of trees or shrubs in the family Rubiaceae …

We report here the first asymmetric catalytic alkylation of unmodified ketones with alkyl
halides. This metal-free approach, which requires light in order to proceed, provides a rare …

The ProPhenol ligand is a member of the chiral aza‐crown family that spontaneously forms
a bimetallic complex upon treatment with alkyl metal reagents, such as Et2Zn and Bu2Mg …

Chiral bis (guanidino) iminophosphoranes were designed and synthesized as chiral
uncharged organosuperbase catalysts that facilitate activation of less-acidic pro …
