Recyclable fluorous cinchona organocatalysts for asymmetric synthesis of biologically interesting compounds

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Oct 5;57(79):10116-10124. doi: 10.1039/d1cc03722f.

Abstract

Organocatalysis has unique modes of activation, mild reaction conditions, and good catalyst structural amenability. The integration of green techniques such as catalyst recovery and one-pot reactions makes organocatalysis more efficient and attractive. Presented in this article are the recyclable cinchona alkaloid-catalyzed reactions including fluorination and Michael addition-initiated cascade reactions in asymmetric synthesis of functionalized compounds of biological interest.
