Deskripsi

Enantiodivergent methods, which to access both enantiomers of the same compound, are of importance in drug synthesis. Here, the authors show that by simply changing a NiBu- to a NMe-group in readily available amine organocatalysts, high stereocontrol and broad scope are achieved in eight asymmetric reactions.
