Since the seminal work of Roelfes and Feringa in 2005,[1] DNA-based asymmetric catalysis has drawn increasing attention to become a particularly attractive tool for synthetic organic chemists. Indeed, DNA-based catalysts have now been successfully applied to a variety of asymmetric transformations including Diels–Alder cycloadditions,[1] Michael additions,[2] Friedel–Crafts alkylations,[3] fluorinations,[4] and syn-hydrations.[5, 6] More recently, the ...
