Low molecular weight synthetic peptides have been demonstrated to be effective catalysts
for an increasingly wide array of asymmetric transformations. In many cases, these peptide …

Despite the fact that halogenation of alkenes has been known for centuries, enantioselective
variants of this reaction have only recently been developed. In the past three years, catalytic …

Enantioenriched fluorinated heterocycles can be prepared through fluorocyclizations of
prochiral indoles (see scheme; Ts= tosyl, Bn= benzyl, Boc= tert-butoxycarbonyl). More than …

A chiral anion phase-transfer system for enantioselective halogenation is described. Highly
insoluble, ionic reagents were developed as electrophilic bromine and iodine sources, and …

This review seeks to provide coverage on recent advances in catalytic enantioselective
halofunctionalization of alkenes. The aim is to give an overview of various reports …

A catalytic asymmetric bromocyclization of trisubstituted olefinic amides that uses a C 2-
symmetric mannitol-derived cyclic selenium catalyst and a stoichiometric amount of N …

Bromination reactions have been made a lot more convenient since the invention of N-
bromoamide reagents. These reagents are more easily handled when compared to …

The addition of electrophilic reagents to the carbon–carbon double bond is one of the most
fundamental reactions in organic chemistry. Halogen electrophiles constitute probably the …

The visible-light-mediated oxydifluoromethylation of olefinic amides with difluoromethyl
sulfones has been explored. This method allows for an efficient and practical synthesis of a …

Heterodifunctionalization of unactivated olefins continues to be an attractive and widely
utilized strategy for the generation of densely functionalized organic molecules. Electrophilic …
