Description: The research presented herein explores three aspects of asymmetric catalysis: (1) the development of new catalytic enantioselective reactions, (2) the application of stereoselective catalysis to natural product total synthesis, and (3) the design and synthesis of new chiral catalysts.
Notes: Keywords: anion-abstraction, bisthiourea, enantioselective, ketone-ene, reserpine.
