In this critical review, the progress in catalytic asymmetric synthesis of β-amino acids is
discussed, covering the literature since 2002. The review treats transition metal catalysis …

The catalytic aza‐Michael addition is an important reaction within synthetic organic
chemistry, given the significance of the biologically and synthetically interesting products …

Because the biological and/or pharmacological properties of a given molecule often depend
on the absolute and relative configurations of the stereogenic centers, different …

The prevalence of nitrogen containing heterocycles in natural products and pharmaceuticals
is a doubtless fact. In this review, recent applications of a stereoselective aza-Michael …

The evolution of organocatalysis led to various valuable approaches, such as
multicomponent as well as domino and tandem reactions. Recently, organomulticatalysis, ie …

The organocatalytic intramolecular aza-Michael reaction gives access to enantiomerically
enriched nitrogen-containing heterocycles in a very simple manner. Enals, enones …

Abstract α, α‐Diaryl (dialkyl) prolinol ethers constitute a potent organocatalyst family which
has been shown to be very general for a broad range of reactions involving enamine and …

Recent years have witnessed an explosive growth in the field of amino organocatalysis,
especially in asymmetric enamine and iminium catalysis. Except for the obvious interaction …

The intramolecular aza-Michael reaction of carbamates bearing remote α, β-unsaturated
aldehydes under organocatalytic conditions took place with good yields and excellent ee's …
