Critical trends in synthetic organic chemistry in terms of organocatalysis

Abstract

Abstract The utilization of small organic compounds as catalysts has advanced rapidly, and organocatalysis has emerged as a dominant technique complementary to metal-catalyzed organic conversions. The organocatalysis field has enhanced the progression of innovative approaches to make varied chiral molecules. Researchers have placed enormous effort towards designing and blending simpler organocatalysts to synthesize enantioselective molecules in good yields. This work emphasized the impact of enamine, iminium, hydrogen bonding, and phase transfer organocatalysts in organic synthesis. The monograph focused on the crucial methods to construct valuable molecules with high enantiomeric purity.
