Journal ArticleDOI
A stable and easily prepared catalyst for the enantioselective reduction of ketones. Applications to multistep syntheses
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described a new method for the catalytic enantioselective reduction of ketones to chiral secondary alcohols, where the stoichiometric reagent in the reduction is borane and the catalyst is a chiral oxazaborolidine such as 1 (0.05-0.1 molfmol of ketone).
Journal ArticleDOI
Organocatalytic reactions in water
TL;DR: This feature article has described reactions promoted by organocatalysts in a large excess of water, without any organic solvent or excess of any reactant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Enantioselective Organocatalytic Direct Aldol Reaction in an Aqueous Medium
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that small organic molecules 1 and 2 catalyzed the direct aldol reaction of both acyclic and cyclic ketones with different aldehydes in an excess of water/brine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enantioselective one-pot three-component synthesis of propargylamines.
Alakesh Bisai,Vinod K. Singh +1 more
TL;DR: A copper(I) complex of i-Pr-pybox-diPh has been found to be an efficient catalyst for an enantioselective one-pot three-component synthesis of propargylamines from aldehydes, amines, and alkynes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Practical and Useful Methods for the Enantioselective Reduction of Unsymmetrical Ketones
TL;DR: In this article, the recently developed oxazaborolidine catalyzed reduction along with other useful reagents are discussed and compared with other traditional reagents for the reduction of unsymmetrical ketones to optically active alcohols.
