Mechanochemistry assisted asymmetric organocatalysis: A sustainable approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ball-milling and pestle and mortar grinding have emerged as powerful methods for the development of environmentally benign chemical transformations. Recently, the use of these mechanochemical techniques in asymmetric organocatalysis has increased. This review highlights the progress in asymmetric organocatalytic reactions assisted by mechanochemical techniques.

Organocatalytic Asymmetric Synthesis and Use of Organoselenium Com- pounds Synthesis and Use of Organoselenium Compounds
In the last ten years organocatalysis has emerged as an efficient and sustainable strategy for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral molecules. Optically active intermediates for novel interesting transformations are generated under mild and operationally simple conditions when selenium-containing compounds are used as reaction partners. The peculiar reactivity of organoselenium compounds has been...

The six-membered nitrogen-containing ring of the morphan scaffold, ubiquitous in natural products, is formed by an intramolecular aldol process of an aza-tethered dicarbonyl compound, leading to the first asymmetric synthesis of a morphan derivative using organocatalysis.
متن کاملAsymmetric organocatalysis: from infancy to adolescence.
After an initial period of validating asymmetric organocatalysis by using a wide range of important model reactions that constitute the essential tools of organic synthesis, the time has now been reached when organocatalysis can be used to address specific issues and solve pending problems of stereochemical relevance. This Review deals with selected studies reported in 2006 and the first half o...
متن کاملDirect carbon-carbon bond formation via soft enolization: a biomimetic asymmetric Mannich reaction of phenylacetate thioesters.
An asymmetric Mannich reaction of phenylacetate thioesters and sulfonylimines using cinchona alkaloid-based amino (thio)urea catalysts is reported that employs proximity-assisted soft enolization. This approach to enolization is based on the cooperative action of a carbonyl-activating hydrogen bonding (thio)urea moiety and an amine base contained within a single catalytic entity to facilitate i...
متن کاملSequential stereodivergent organocatalysis and programmed organocascades.
Asymmetric organocatalysis has attracted great interest as a synthetic strategy during the past decade. But, although the inertness of organocatalysts to moisture and oxygen offers great opportunities to tune the reaction conditions, the stereoswitchable character of organocatalysts has not been systematically studied, and most findings have been serendipitous. In this Perspective, we emphasize...
