New Organocatalytic Strategies for the Selective Synthesis of Centrally and Axially Chiral Molecules

This thesis discusses the use of asymmetric organic catalysis for the direct enantioselective synthesis of complex chiral molecules, and by addressing the many aspects of both vinylogy and atropisomerism, it appeals to researchers and scholars interested in both areas.

Organocatalysis is a relatively modern and “hot” topic in the chemical community; it is constantly expanding and its use has been e...
