Despite recent advancements in the development of catalytic asymmetric electrophile
induced lactonization reactions of olefinic carboxylic acids, the archetypical …

Catalyst optimization processes typically rely on inductive and qualitative assumptions of
chemists based on screening data. While machine learning models using molecular …

Whereas [4+ 2] cycloadditions are among the most powerful tools in the chemist's synthetic
arsenal, controlling reactivity and selectivity of [6+ 4] cycloadditions has proven to be …

The catalytic and enantioselective construction of quaternary (all-carbon substituents)
stereocenters poses a formidable challenge in organic synthesis due to the hindrance …

The use of synergistic catalytic strategy can usually circumvent the intrinsic limitations of one
catalytic system. In this communication, we disclose a cooperative catalysis strategy of …

The formation of Brønsted acid aggregates in the course of asymmetric organocatalytic
reactions is often overlooked in mechanistic studies, even though it might have a deep …

The performance of chiral catalysts is typically evaluated against empirical reaction outputs
like yield and selectivity with traditional analyses limited to a single model system …

The stereoselective activation of alkanes constitutes a long-standing and grand challenge
for chemistry. Although metal-containing enzymes oxidize alkanes with remarkable ease …

The conceptually designed imidodiphosphorimidates (IDPis) have emerged as one of the
most potent classes of chiral acid catalysts. They are characterized by enzyme‐like, highly …
