Abstract

The synthesis of optically active organic compounds is a central research topic in chemistry because of their widespread use in the pharmaceutical industry as well as in the production of fine chemicals.[1] Catalytic enantioselective organic reactions can be achieved by metal catalysis,[2] by biocatalysis,[3] and more recently also by organocatalysis.[4] Despite the increased industrial demand for enantiomerically pure compounds, to date only a few ...
