Chiral bifunctional dual H-bond donor catalysts have become one of the pillars of
organocatalysis. They include squaramide, thiosquaramide, thiourea, urea, and even …

Over the past two decades, enantioselective anion-binding catalysis has emerged as a
powerful strategy for the induction of chirality in organic transformations. The …

Accessing hindered amines, particularly primary amines α to a fully substituted carbon
center, is synthetically challenging. We report an electrochemical method to access such …

A photoresponsive chiral catalyst based on an oligotriazole‐functionalized unidirectional
molecular motor has been developed for stereodivergent anion binding catalysis. The motor …

An investigation of the mechanism of benzoic acid/thiourea co-catalysis in the asymmetric
Pictet–Spengler reaction is reported. Kinetic, computational, and structure–activity …

We report a chiral-squaramide-catalyzed enantio-and diastereoselective synthesis of α-allyl
amino esters. The optimized protocol provides access to N-carbamoyl-protected amino …

Hydrogen bond-based organocatalysts rely on networks of attractive noncovalent
interactions (NCIs) to impart enantioselectivity. As a specific example, aryl pyrrolidine …

The dihalomethane–halide H2C (X)–X··· X–(X= Cl, Br) halogen bonding was detected in a
series of the cis-[PdX (CNCy){C (NHCy) NHC6H2Me2 N H2}] X• CH2X2 (X= Cl, Br) …

A highly enantio‐and diastereoselective thiourea‐catalyzed dearomatization of
isoquinolines employing N‐tert‐butylhydrazones as neutral α‐azo carbanions and masked …

The catalytic enantioselective dearomatization of pyridines with nucleophiles represents a
direct and convenient access to highly valuable dihydropyridines. Available methods, mostly …
