Abstract

Organocatalyst development in asymmetric synthesis is a frontier activity in modern organic chemistry. 1 This field has witnessed recent and rapid innovations which have extended the scope and repertoire in asymmetric synthesis. Although these catalysts are chemically more stable than metal based catalysts, the catalytic activity (TOF) displayed by organocatalysts remains poorer in general. In order to attain high turnover numbers for these valuable catalysts, ...
