This review describes the development of enantioselective methods for the ring opening of
cyclopropanes. Both approaches based on the reaction of nonchiral cyclopropanes and …

In recent years, para-quinone methides (p-QMs) have emerged as attractive and versatile
synthons in organic synthesis owing to their high reactivity. Consequently, p-QM chemistry …

The development of efficient and straightforward methods for obtaining all optically active
isomers of structurally rigid spirocycles from readily available starting materials is of great …

The enantioselective synthesis of spirocycles has long been pursued by organic chemists.
Despite their unique 3D properties and presence in several natural products, the difficulty in …

The chiral oxazoline motif is present in many ligands that have been extensively applied in a
series of important metal-catalyzed enantioselective reactions. This Review aims to provide …

Due to the synergistic “push–pull” effect of vicinal electron‐donating and electron‐
withdrawing groups, donor–acceptor (D‐A) cyclopropanes have been recognized as one of …

As a consequence of their propensity towards aromatization, quinone methides (QMs) and
indole imine methides (IIMs) are versatile intermediates in organic synthesis. Although QMs …

A Cu-catalyzed asymmetric 1, 6-conjugate addition of in situ generated para-quinone
methides (p-QMs) with β-ketoester has been developed to construct a ketoester skeleton …

Over the past few decades, there have been major developments in transition metal-
catalyzed asymmetric cyclization reactions, enabling the convenient access to a wide …

para‐Quinone methides (p‐QMs) are naturally occurring molecules that have been finding
increasing synthetic applications in the last few years. The presence of two electronically …
