The hallmark of nucleophilic phosphine catalysis is the initial nucleophilic addition of a
phosphine to an electrophilic starting material, producing a reactive zwitterionic …

Asymmetric phosphine catalysis showcasing remarkable progress over the past two
decades has emerged as a key synthetic platform for the creation of molecular frameworks …

Catalytic asymmetric 1, 3-dipolar cycloadditions of azomethine ylides have turned out to be
one of the most efficient methods for the preparation of enantioenriched pyrrolidines. The …

Nucleophilic phosphine catalysis is a practical and powerful tool for the synthesis of various
heterocyclic compounds with the advantages of environmentally friendly, metal-free, and …

Azomethine imines are considered 1, 3-dipoles of the aza-allyl type which are transient
intermediates and should be generated in situ but can also be stable and isolable …

The first highly enantioselective phosphine‐catalyzed formal [4+ 4] annulation has been
developed. In the presence of amino‐acid‐derived phosphines, the unprecedented [4+ 4] …

Dipolar cycloaddition is one of the most valuable methods for synthesizing various carbo-
and heterocycles because multiple carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds form in a …

This feature review describes the development of catalytic [4+ 2] and [4+ 3] cycloadditions of
allenes, as efficient and practical methodologies for assembling six and seven-membered …

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 …

The first phosphine-catalyzed highly enantioselective [3+ 3] cycloaddition of Morita–Baylis–
Hillman carbonates with C, N-cyclic azomethine imines is described. Using a spirocyclic …
