Can green chemistry be the right reading key to let organocatalyst design take a step
forward towards sustainable catalysis? What if the intriguing chemistry promoted by more …

Over the years, Friedel–Crafts (FC) reactions have been acknowledged as the most useful
and powerful synthetic tools for the construction of a special kind of carbon–carbon bond …

Over the past decade, asymmetric aminocatalysis has become a reliable synthetic platform
for generating stereogenic centres at the α and β positions of unmodified carbonyl …

We report here the first asymmetric catalytic alkylation of unmodified ketones with alkyl
halides. This metal-free approach, which requires light in order to proceed, provides a rare …

In this work we introduce a sustainable membrane-based synthesis–separation platform for
enantioselective organocatalysis. An azido derivatized cinchona-squaramide bifunctional …

Remote control of the axial chirality of N-(2-t-butylphenyl) succinimides was realized via the
vinylogous Michael addition of 3-substituted cyclohexenones to N-(2-t-butylphenyl) …

Abstract The photoenolization/Diels–Alder strategy offers straightforward access to
synthetically valuable benzannulated carbocyclic products. This historical light‐triggered …

Remote control: The title reaction facilitates the synthesis of complex chiral molecules while
selectively forging multiple stereocenters at distant positions, namely five and six bond …

The catalytic enantioselective dearomatization of pyridines with nucleophiles represents a
direct and convenient access to highly valuable dihydropyridines. Available methods, mostly …

The 1, 1a, 2, 7b-tetrahydrocyclopropa [c] chromene, arising from fusion of chromane and
cyclopropane rings is the core of medicinally relevant compounds. Engaging sulfoxonium …
