Multi-component reactions (MCRs) are considered to be an important methodological
arsenal in synthetic and medicinal chemistry. These reactions have been strategically …

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 …

Stereochemically defined organofluorine compounds are vital to drug discovery and many
applicable catalytic strategies have been introduced for accessing these entities …

A mild, one-pot, and environmentally friendly synthesis of amides from aldehydes and
amines is described. Initially, a photoorganocatalytic reaction of aldehydes with di-isopropyl …

A cheap, mild, fast, and environmentally friendly oxidation of olefins to the corresponding
epoxides is reported using polyfluoroalkyl ketones as efficient organocatalysts. Namely, 2, 2 …

The catalytic enantioselective synthesis of α‐fluorinated chiral tertiary alcohols from (hetero)
aryl methyl ketones is described. The use of a bifunctional iminophosphorane (BIMP) …

A practical one-pot synthesis of ureas is described. Boc-protected amines can be
transformed into nonsymmetrical and symmetrical disubstituted and trisubstituted ureas …
