Abstract:
United in effort : The combined application of iminium (Im) and enamine (En) catalysts can effect a range of valuable asymmetric transformations including 1,2‐hydroamination, ‐hydro‐oxidation, and ‐amino‐oxidation of olefins (see picture). An enantioselective organocascade catalysis was also applied in the synthesis of a complex natural product.
