Recent advances in copper-catalyzed asymmetric coupling reactions

Copper-catalyzed (or -mediated) asymmetric coupling reactions have received significant attention over the past few years. Especially the coupling reactions of aryl or alkyl halides with nucleophiles became a very powerful tool for the formation of C-C, C-N, C-O and other carbon-heteroatom bonds as well as for the construction of heteroatom-containing ring systems. This review summarizes the re...

Asymmetric organocatalytic Strecker-type reactions of aliphatic N,N-dialkylhydrazones.

The enantioselective organocatalytic Strecker-type reaction of aliphatic N,N-dialkylhydrazones is presented. Using trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) as the cyanide source, the reaction can be efficiently catalyzed by a tert-leucine-derived bifunctional thiourea to afford the corresponding hydrazino nitriles in good to excellent yields (50-96%) and moderate to good enantioselectivities, up to 86% e...

Recent Advances in Asymmetric [3,3]-Sigmatropic Rearrangements

Synthesis 2003, No. 7, Print: 20 05 2003. Art Id.1437-210X,E;2003,0,07,0961,1008,ftx,en;E08002SS.pdf. © Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York Abstract: The synthesis of new complex structures is still a challenge in preparative organic chemistry. Focusing on the generation of defined stereogenic centers, the [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements are known as reliable reactions. Always, a highly o...

Recent Advances in Asymmetric Catalysis in Flow

Asymmetric catalysis in flow has been attracting much attention very recently because of the potential advantages over its batchwise counterpart, such as highthroughput screening and synthesis, easy automation with the integration of on-demand reaction analysis, little or no reaction workup, and potential long-term use of the catalysts in the case of heterogeneous catalysis. Homogeneous asymmet...
