A rotationally hindered and thus stereogenic biaryl axis is the structurally and
stereochemically decisive element of a steadily growing number of natural products, chiral …

Because of their ready accessibility, modular nature, and applicability in a wide range of
metalcatalyzed transformations, compounds containing a chiral oxazoline ring have become …

Allylic alcohols represent an important and highly versatile class of chiral building blocks for
organic synthesis. This Review summarizes the plethora of methods developed for the …

Over the past decades radical chemistry has developed into an important and integral part of
organic chemistry. Although the first example of an organic radical (1) was observed as early …

The preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds is an important and challenging area
of contemporary synthetic organic chemistry. 1 The need for access to chiral compounds of a …

The copper-catalyzed oxidation of organic compounds has made considerable progress in
the recent years. Molecular oxygen, aqueous hydrogen peroxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide …
