Enantioselective catalytic Povarov reactions

Catalytic asymmetric Povarov protocols have undergone an explosive growth, especially in the last ten years, since the first example was published in 1996. The use of chiral Lewis and Brønsted...

Correction: Catalytic asymmetric hydrometallation of cyclobutenes with salicylaldehydes

Correction for ‘Catalytic asymmetric hydrometallation of cyclobutenes with salicylaldehydes’ by F. Wieland Goetzke et al., Chem. Sci., 2022, DOI: 10.1039/d1sc06035j.

Catalytic asymmetric hydrometallation of cyclobutenes with salicylaldehydes

Chiral, substituted cyclobutanes are common motifs in bioactive compounds and intermediates in organic synthesis but few asymmetric routes for their synthesis are known.

Recent advances in asymmetric reduction of imines by recycled catalyst systems

Chiral amines are widely found in nature, many of which possess significant biological and synthetic values. The catalytic asymmetric syntheses of optically active amines have inspired enormous interests. Currently, the...

BINOL-phosphoric acid and metalloporphyrin derived chiral covalent organic framework for enantioselective α-benzylation of aldehydes

The catalytic asymmetric α-benzylation of aldehydes represents a highly valuable reaction for organic synthesis. For example, the generated α-heteroarylmethyl aldehydes, such as (R)-2-methyl-3-(pyridin-4-yl)propanal ((R)-MPP), are an important class of synthons...
