The metal-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition (ACA) reaction has emerged as a
general and powerful approach for the construction of optically active compounds and is …

Asymmetric catalysis represents an efficient approach to prepare optically active
compounds. Commonly, both enantiomers of a chiral catalyst are used to synthesize two …

Among the artificial switchable catalysts, those catalysts whose activity can be switched by
an external stimulus, only a few cases offer the possibility to develop an effective chiral …

Michael addition (MA) is one of the most well studied chemical transformation in synthetic
chemistry. Here, we report the synthesis and crystal structures of a library of 3d/4f …

A highly active catalyst for the enantioselective Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indoles with β, β-
disubstituted nitroalkenes is reported, allowing catalyst loadings down to 0.05 mol% for this …

In the present study, we report the first silver‐dependent enantiodivergent gold‐catalysed
reaction. The asymmetric intramolecular hydroamination of alkenes catalysed by the …

The challenging control of the absolute configuration of chiral-at-metal complexes is
efficiently achieved using the tripodal tetradentate ligand L. The optical resolution of rac …

A straightforward synthetic route toward C5-alkylated indolines/indoles has been developed.
The strategy is composed of Zn (OTf) 2-catalyzed Friedel–Crafts alkylation of N …

A chiral-at-metal bis-cyclometalated iridium complex combines electrophile activation via
metal coordination with nucleophile activation through hydrogen bond formation. This new …

Organic reactions using metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as catalysts are promising with
regard to their environmentally friendly features and potential catalyst recyclability. A robust …
