Journal ArticleDOI

Efficiency in nonenzymatic kinetic resolution.

TL;DR: The story of kinetic resolution from the early discoveries through fascinating historical milestones and conceptual developments is followed, and a focus on modern techniques that maximize efficiency is closed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cationic tricoordinate boron intermediates: borenium chemistry from the organic perspective.

TL;DR: The focus of this review is on the reactivity of cationic, tricoordinated boron electrophiles, and on recent applications that rely on intermediates having sextet bor on and net positive charge, including selected historical aspects of reactivity, some of which have not appeared in prior reviews.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of chiral nucleophilic pyridine catalysts: applications in asymmetric quaternary carbon synthesis.

TL;DR: TADMAP catalyzes the enantioselective rearrangement from oxazolyl phenylcarbonates 4 to azlactones 5, from furanyl phenyl carbonate 8 to the furanone 9, from the benzofuranyl carbonates 11a and 11b to benzofuranones 12a and 12b, and from the indolylcarbonates 11c and 11d to oxindoles 12c and 12d.
