Asymmetric dihydroxylation of simple olefins, 1, 2 epoxidation of olefins, 3, 4 and the
asymmetric hydrogenation and reduction of ketones5 are all mediated by small molecule …

Desymmetrization of meso compounds to yield chiral products proved to be a powerful
synthetic tool in asymmetric synthesis since it allows formation of multiple stereogenic …

We herein report an iron-catalyzed direct diazidation method via activation of bench-stable
peroxyesters promoted by nitrogen-based ligands. This method is effective for a broad range …

The term “conformational restriction” can be found very often in contemporary chemical
literature. Despite the lack of strict definitions, this term is usually intuitively understood and …

Recent years have witnessed increasing interest in the field of asymmetric organocatalysis.
In particular, efforts in this field have been devoted to the use of small organic molecules in …

The cinchona alkaloid-mediated opening of prochiral cyclic anhydrides in the presence of
benzyl alcohol leading to optically active hemiesters is described. Structurally diverse …

Carbon–nitrogen bond formation is one of the most important reactions in organic chemistry.
Various synthetic strategies for the generation of C–N bonds are described in the literature …

N‐Acylated sulfoximines display unique chemical properties. Various derivatives have been
synthesized and investigated by NMR and IR spectroscopy. The results of these studies …

A preparatively easy and efficient protocol for the resolution of racemic 2-aminocyclohexanol
derivatives is described, delivering both enantiomers with> 99% enantiomeric excess (ee) …

Based on 1H NMR studies, subtle electronic factors rather than pre-organisation dictate the
binding stoichiometry of the new, norbornene based, anion hosts 1 and 2 with acetate …
