Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric Organic Catalysis with Modified Cinchona Alkaloids
TL;DR: These studies demonstrate the potential of modified cinchona alkaloids as broadly useful chiral organic catalysts for asymmetric synthesis.

A Highly Enantioselective and General Conjugate Addition of Thiols to Cyclic Enones with an Organic Catalyst This work was financially supported by National Institutes of Health (GM-61591), Research Corporation (RI-0311), and the Harcourt General Charitable Foundation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Highly Enantioselective Catalytic Desymmetrization of Cyclic Anhydrides with Modified Cinchona Alkaloids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a chiral amine catalyst for the desymmetrization of cyclic anhydrides, based on the idea of using aryl ethers of cinchona alkaloids.
