The Importance of Organocatalysis (Asymmetric and Non‐Asymmetric) in Agrochemicals

Abstract

AbstractOrganocatalysis has been well established and documented for the asymmetric and non asymmetric synthesis of pharmaceuticals, natural products and fine chemicals. However, relatively a few reports have been reported regarding the synthesis of chiral or achiral agrochemicals while using organocatalysis. With continuous growing interest in modern agricultural chemistry, this review will provide a comprehensive overview of some important reports on the successful applications of organocatalysts for the synthesis of agrochemicals. The review has summarized the organocatalytic approach for both asymmetric and non‐asymmetric synthesis of such chemicals with respect to academic and industrial aspects.
