Sulfones are flexible functional groups that can act as nucleophiles, electrophiles, or even
radicals. Changing the reaction conditions can completely alter the reactivity of a sulfonyl …

Chiral Lewis basic tertiary amines or phosphines can enable properly modified Morita–
Baylis–Hillman (MBH) adducts to undergo asymmetric allylic substitutions with a wide range …

The introduction of a monofluoromethyl moiety has undoubtedly become a very important
area of research in recent years. Owing to the beneficial properties of organofluorine …

A highly enantio-and regio-selective Markovnikov hydromonofluoro (methyl) alkylation of 1,
3-dienes was developed using redox-neutral nickel catalysis. It provided a facile strategy to …

Two birds, one stone! The first kinetic resolution of allyl fluorides was achieved by the
development of an organocatalyzed enantioselective allylic trifluoromethylation. Two kinds …

Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) adducts are versatile starting materials widely employed in
Lewis base catalysis. A myriad of different transformations have been reported based on …

This minireview focuses on the recent advances in the synthetic application of amino acid‐
derived bifunctional phosphine catalysts bearing a hydrogen‐bond donor. In the examples …

The first enantioselective addition of alkyl BODIPYs to Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH)
carbonates is reported. This is the first reported enantioselective methodology using the …

Die Einführung einer CH2F‐Gruppe in organische Moleküle ist in den letzten Jahren
zweifellos zu einem sehr wichtigen Forschungsgebiet geworden. Aufgrund der vorteilhaften …

All in one pot: an organocatalytic highly enantioselective synthesis of α-methylene-γ-
lactones has been reported. The reaction between protected 2-hydroxymalonates and MBH …
