The development of switchable chemo-, regio-, or diastereodivergent reactions, in which two
or more structurally and stereogenically different types of chiral products could be produced …

Abstract The regio‐, site‐, stereo‐or chemoselective homogeneous catalytic transformations
are extremely important for the growth/success of the current chemical industry. Based on …

The rapid synthesis of valuable isoindolinones with cheap and easily available starting
materials under mild conditions is of great importance, but is challenging. We enclose here a …

A novel organocatalytic asymmetric formal [3+ 2] cycloaddition of 3-substituted 1H-indoles
with in situ generated 3-hydroxy-isoindolinone-derived β, γ-alkynyl-α-ketimines has been …

The first example of cobalt‐catalyzed C (sp2)− H carbonylation of benzylamines using a
traceless directing group is reported, which was successfully applied to the synthesis of N …

The application potential of primary amine catalysts in the context of Mannich reactions of
aldehydes with ketimines is exemplified by isatin‐derived ketimines and cyclic …

As important reactive species, isoindolinones represent a cluster of valuable building blocks
for the construction of natural‐product‐like compounds. In particular, chiral isoindolinones …

The catalytic enantioselective synthesis of isoindolinones was achieved through the
condensation of 2‐acyl‐benzaldehydes and anilines. In the presence of 1 mol% of a chiral …

Benzo-fused γ-lactam rings such as isoindolin-2-ones and 2-oxindoles are part of the
structure of many pharmaceutically active molecules. They can be often synthesized by …

New bifunctional chiral ammonium salts were investigated in an asymmetric cascade
synthesis of a key building block for a variety of biologically relevant isoindolinones. With …
