A chiral secondary amine phosphoramide was developed and identified as a powerful
catalyst for the Mukaiyama–Michael addition of fluorinated enol silyl ethers to …

An NHC-catalyzed radical relay enabled the vicinal alkylacylation of alkenes using
aldehydes and tertiary α-bromo esters as a versatile route to δ-keto esters bearing an all …

This study demonstrates that unsaturated acyl phosphonates are excellent hydrogen-bond
acceptors in enantioselective organocatalysis. By employing chiral thioureas or …

New chiral tethered bis (8-quinolinolato)(TBOx) aluminum (III) complexes effectively catalyze
the addition of phosphites to aldehydes and aldimines to give enantioenriched α-hydroxy …

A highly selective NHC-catalyzed synthesis of γ-butyrolactones from the fusion of enals and
α-ketophosphonates has been developed. Computational modeling of competing transition …

The first enantioselective conjugate addition of silyl ketene imines to in situ generated indol‐

α, β-Unsaturated 2-imidazolyl ketones undergo [2+ 2] cycloaddition with a variety of Michael
acceptors upon irradiation with visible light in the presence of Ru (bpy) 32+. Cleavage of the …

An aluminum complex was found to be high yielding and enantioselective for the addition of
cyanide to aldimines and ketimines. Although catalytic asymmetric addition of cyanide to …
