Organocatalytic enantioselective synthesis

What is it about?

This personal account summarizes the design of various organocatalysts derived from amino acids and Cinchona alkaloids and their applications in enantioselective carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bond formation reactions. This account begins with the short description of the background of asymmetric organocatalysis. Various types of reactions like aldol reaction, Michael reaction, aza-Henry reaction, Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction are described in this account.
