Catalytic systems that allow selective generation of any diastereomer of a reaction product bearing multiple stereocentres through minimal modification of a single catalyst scaffold remain elusive, ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 101, No. 16 (Apr. 20, 2004), pp. 5749-5754 (6 pages) A Cu(I)-catalyzed direct addition of alkynes to imines was ...

Japanese researchers have succeeded in catalytic asymmetric iodoesterification from simple alkene substrates and carboxylic acids. Published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition on April 27, ...

Cationic organic intermediates participate in a wide variety of useful synthetic transformations, but their high reactivity can render selectivity in competing pathways difficult to control. Here, we ...
