This review highlights a number of additives that can be used to make asymmetric reactions
perfect. Without changing other reaction conditions, simply adding additives can lead to …

The addition of an organometallic reagent to a carbonyl compound or an imine represents
an important process in synthetic organic chemistry because in this reaction, together with a …

Abstract The legacy of Gilbert Newton Lewis (1875–1946) pervades the lexicon of chemical
bonding and reactivity. The power of his concept of donor–acceptor bonding is evident in the …

The propargylation reaction is one of the most important fundamental reactions in organic
synthesis. It features mild reaction conditions, a tolerance of a diverse range of functional …

Chiral tertiary alcohols and R-tertiary amines are important building blocks of naturally
occurring and artificial biologically active molecules. Although there are catalytic asymmetric …

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an attractive, cheap, and nontoxic C1 source.[1] However, because
of its high thermodynamic stability and low reactivity, the use of CO2 as a C1 source for CÀC …

Lewis base adducts of tetra‐alkoxy diboron compounds, in particular bis (pinacolato)
diboron (B2pin2), have been proposed as the active source of nucleophilic boryl species in …

There is a growing need in organic synthesis for efficient methodologies for the asymmetric
synthesis of quaternary carbon centres. One of the most attractive and straightforward …

Catalytic enantioselective methods are introduced that allow access to a variety of allyl
boronates and silanes that contain a difluoroalkene unit; the resulting products may be used …
