Molecular recognition, binding and catalysis are often mediated by non-covalent interactions
involving aromatic functional groups. Although the relative complexity of these so-called π …

Chiral phosphoric acids (CPAs) have emerged as powerful organocatalysts for asymmetric
reactions, and applications of computational quantum chemistry have revealed important …

Figure 73: The proposed catalyst/substrate interaction shown in Figure 73 corresponds to
the related sulfoxidation catalyzed by chiral phosphoric acid PA 5 (ref 133). Please note that …

The mechanism of the aryl iodide-catalyzed asymmetric migratory geminal difluorination of β-
substituted styrenes (Banik et al. Science 2016, 353, 51) has been explored with density …

The use of computed interaction energies and distances as parameters in multivariate

A mechanistic study of the Pd-catalyzed enantioselective 1, 1-diarylation of benzyl acrylates
that is facilitated by a chiral anion phase transfer (CAPT) process is presented. Kinetic …

The development of asymmetric catalysts is typically driven by the experimental screening of
potential catalyst designs. Herein, we demonstrate the design of asymmetric propargylation …
