Explores the synthesis and reactivity of chiral ylides in cycloadditions and catalytic processes, including asymmetric cyclopropanation and hydrogen bond-mediated selectivity.
Covers methods for synthesizing solid state compounds, including high temperature ceramic and hydrothermal methods, and the challenges of avoiding volatile reactants.
Explores Lewis and Brønsted acids activation of carbonyls and imines, focusing on conjugate additions and cycloadditions, with examples of pioneering and recent/classical reactions.
