The catalysis by primary and secondary amines of electrophilic substitution reactions in the
R-position of carbonyl compounds and related reactions via enamine intermediates is called …

Asymmetric catalysis constitutes one of the most important subjects in chemistry originating
thousands of published works every year. But still, the application of such methodologies in …

In the last eight years, L-proline and L-proline derivatives, such as substituted prolinamides
or pyrrolidines, have been successfully used as organocatalysts in several reactions. In this …

The recognition of the optical activity of organic compounds, followed by the detailed
analysis of optical isomerism, 1 laid the foundation for the development of asymmetric …

The use of simple (S)-proline as catalyst for the intermolecular direct aldol reaction at the
beginning of this century became a true milestone in the growth of organocatalysis as a …

This review gives an overview of the use of dendrimers and dendrons as organocatalysts, ie
as catalysts in the absence of any metal. A large variety of dendrimeric structures have …

We have prepared a range of well-defined copolymers of styrene and l-proline
functionalized styrene (5–11 kDa) using reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer …

The review is devoted to the application of organocatalysis for the asymmetric aldol reaction,
which is one of the most important methods for carbon–carbon bond formation in organic …

In the present work, we report a ground-breaking strategy in the development of spick-and-
span protocol for the synthesis of l-proline chiral scaffold tethered onto the silica matrix ie, l …

A simple and practical synthetic strategy for the synthesis of a novel silica-supported
organocatalyst system based on L-proline (SSLP) has been developed. First, silica was …
