Explores Lewis and Brønsted acids activation of carbonyls and imines, focusing on conjugate additions and cycloadditions, with examples of pioneering and recent/classical reactions.
Explores catalytic asymmetric reactions in organic chemistry, focusing on electrophilic allylation, C-C bond activation, and chiral enolate generation.
Explores the synthesis and reactivity of chiral ylides in cycloadditions and catalytic processes, including asymmetric cyclopropanation and hydrogen bond-mediated selectivity.
