Traditional organic synthesis relies heavily on organic solvents for a multitude of tasks,
including dissolving the components and facilitating chemical reactions, because many …

The use of water as solvent features many benefits such as improving reactivities and
selectivities, simplifying the workup procedures, enabling the recycling of the catalyst and …

Enzyme mimics or artificial enzymes are a class of catalysts that have been actively pursued
for decades and have heralded much interest as potentially viable alternatives to natural …

Asymmetric aldol reactions are a powerful method for the construction of carbon–carbon
bonds in an enantioselective fashion. Historically this reaction has been performed in a …

In the last eight years, L-proline and L-proline derivatives, such as substituted prolinamides
or pyrrolidines, have been successfully used as organocatalysts in several reactions. In this …

Positive effects of the polymeric support on the performance of supported chiral catalysts, in
terms of activity, stability and selectivity–enantioselectivity, have been reported when the …

Supramolecular gels have attracted an enormous amount of interest from scientists in the
last decade because of their potential applications proposed up to now in fields of great …

In the area of asymmetric organocatalysis, significant effort has been dedicated during the
last decade to improve the performance of emblematic catalysts such as proline, as well as …

In this review, recent advances in asymmetric organocatalytic reactions carried out with
variable amounts of water, from substoichiometric to a large excess (reaction medium), are …

A new tris (1-benzyl-1 H-1, 2, 3-triazol-4-yl) methanol ligand 3 has been prepared by a triple
Cu (I)-catalyzed alkyne− azide 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC). Ligand 3 forms a stable …
