This review covers diastereo-and enantiodivergent catalyzed reactions in acyclic and cyclic
systems using metal complexes or organocatalysts. Among them, nucleophilic addition to …

The cooperation and interplay between organic and metal catalyst systems is of utmost
importance in nature and chemical synthesis. Here innovative and selective cooperative …

This review will summarize the effect of the bite angle (Figure 1) of bidentate ligands on the
catalytic formation of carbon-to-carbon bonds. In the past decade, considerable progress …

In the past decades there has been a dramatic increase in the demand for enantiopure
compounds for fine-chemicals (ie, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals) and material …

Asymmetric catalysis with chiral metal complexes has received considerable attention in
recent years, and its contribution to the art of organic synthesis has become of leading …

A bis (oxazoline)(box) copper (II) complex and its hydrated counterpart (1 and 2) function as
enantioselective Lewis acid catalysts for carbocyclic and hetero Diels− Alder, aldol, Michael …

Cyclization and annulation reactions initiated by ring-opening of small rings, especially
cyclopropanes and cyclobutanes are now well-established in synthetic chemistry …

Chiral tertiary alcohols and R-tertiary amines are important building blocks of naturally
occurring and artificial biologically active molecules. Although there are catalytic asymmetric …

Enantioselective bond construction is a rapidly growing endeavor in the synthetic
community. This is in response to the increasing demand for enantiomerically pure …

Asymmetric catalysis is a challenge for chemists: How can we design catalysts to achieve
the goal of forming optically active compounds? This review provides the reader with an …
