Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are composed of three or more reagents in which the final
product has all or most of the carbon atoms from its starting materials. These reactions …

The enantioselective production of compounds is a central theme in current research. The
broad utility of synthetic chiral molecules as single-enantiomer pharmaceuticals, in …

Chiral, metal-free Brønsted bases have been demonstrated capable of catalyzing several
types of C–C and C–X bond-forming reactions with high chemical and stereochemical …

In recent years, phosphonic acids and their derivatives have received increasing attention
as analogues of a series of naturally occurring phosphates and as “bio-isosteric phosphorus …
