Conspectus Electrostatic interactions are ubiquitous in catalytic systems and can be decisive
in determining the reactivity and stereoselectivity. However, difficulties quantifying the role of …

The synthesis of chiral mechanically interlocked molecules has attracted a lot of attention in
the last few years, with applications in different fields, such as asymmetric catalysis or …

The formation of Brønsted acid aggregates in the course of asymmetric organocatalytic
reactions is often overlooked in mechanistic studies, even though it might have a deep …

We report herein the development of stereodivergent syntheses of enantioenriched
homoallylic alcohols using chiral nonracemic α‐CH2Bpin‐substituted crotylboronate. Chiral …

The ultimate goal of catalysis is to control the cleavage and formation of chemical bonds at
the molecular or even atomic level, enabling the customization of catalytic products. The …

Chiral phosphorous-containing compounds are playing a more and more significant role in
several different research fields. Here, we show a chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed …

Herein we describe an effective transmission of chirality, from mechanically planar chirality
to point chirality, in hydrogen-bonded [2] rotaxanes. A highly selective mono-N-methylation …

Multistimuli-responsive room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials have attracted
