Journal ArticleDOI

Designer Lewis acids for selective organic synthesis

TL;DR: An excellent candidate as a proton substitute in man-made organic reactions is a Lewis acid as mentioned in this paper, which could be utilized as an effective tool for chemical reactions, by harnessing the high reactivity of the metal atom towards a variety of functional groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unique synthetic utility of BF(3).OEt(2) in the highly diastereoselective reduction of hydroxy carbonyl and dicarbonyl substrates

TL;DR: A new aspect of commonly used BF(3).OEt(2) has been illuminated by successfully demonstrating the unique but highly stereoselective reactions of hydroxy carbonyl and dicarbonyl substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Desymmetrizing Asymmetric Ring Expansion of Cyclohexanones with α-Diazoacetates Catalyzed by Chiral Aluminum Lewis Acid.

TL;DR: In this paper, the catalyst controls the process to give seven-membered rings with an all-carbon quaternary center, which are then used for the construction of the ring.
