Recent Advances in Greener Asymmetric Organocatalysis Using Bio-Based Solvents

Recent advances in plant metabolomics and greener pastures

Metabolomics is an extension of the omics concept and experimental approaches. However, is metabolomics just another trendy omics fashion perturbation or is metabolomics actually delivering novel content and value? This article highlights some recent advances that definitely support the role of plant metabolomics in the movement toward greener pastures.

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...

Cross-trienamines in Asymmetric Organocatalysis

Cross-conjugated trienamines are introduced as a new concept in asymmetric organocatalysis. These intermediates are applied in highly enantioselective Diels-Alder and addition reactions, providing functionalized bicyclo[2.2.2]octane compounds and γ'-addition products, respectively. The nature of the transformations and the intermediates involved are investigated by computational calculations an...

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...
