Helical Chiral Pyridine N-Oxides: A New Family of Asymmetric Catalysts

摘要

The design, synthesis, and study of new catalyst structures have had an enormous impact on chemical synthesis, and continue to be a central challenge in asymmetric catalysis. We recently described that a 2-aminopyridinium ion might be a promising catalaphore for the design of new asymmetric hydrogen-bond donor catalysts.
