N‐Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis has emerged as a powerful stratagem in organic
synthesis to construct complex molecules primarily by polarity reversal (umpolung) …

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 …

Atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral molecules has attracted substantial attention from
chemists because of the importance of such molecules. However, catalytic asymmetric …

N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed enantioselective kinetic resolutions, dynamic kinetic
resolutions, and desymmetrization reactions are systematically reviewed. The content is …

Axially chiral aldehydes have received increasing attention in enantioselective catalysis.
However, only very few catalytic methods have been developed to construct structurally …

We present herein an unprecedented stereoselective synthesis of triaryl-2-pyrones with
monoaxial or contiguous diaxes from readily available starting materials. This N-heterocyclic …

We present herein an unprecedented stereoselective synthesis of bridged biaryls with
defined axial and central chirality from readily available starting materials. This N …

The first N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed [3+ 4] cycloaddition of azomethine imines
and enals is disclosed. Oxidative catalytic remote activation of enals affords 1, 4 …

We present here a highly efficient NHC‐catalyzed kinetic resolution of a wide range of 1, 1′‐
biaryl‐2, 2′‐diols and amino alcohols to provide them in uniformly≥ 99% ee. This …

Axially chiral biaryl amino-alcohols play a pivotal role in organic synthesis and drug
discovery. However, only a very few enantioselective methods have been reported to …
