AbstractChiral molecules hold a mail position in Organic and Biological Chemistry, so pharmaceutical industry needs suitable strategies for drug synthesis. Moreover, Green Chemistry procedures are increasingly required in order to avoid environment deterioration. Catalytic synthesis, in particular organocatalysis, in thus a continuously expanding field. A survey of more recent researches involving chiral imidazolidinones is here presented, with a particular focus on immobilized catalytic systems.
A simplified green chemistry approaches to organic synthesis in solid media. Activated fly ash, an industrial waste (pollutant) as an efficient and novel catalyst for some selected organic reactions in solvent-free conditions under microwave irradiation
