The Importance of Organocatalysis (Asymmetric and Non-Asymmetric) in Agrochemicals

摘要

Organocatalysis has been well established and documented for the asymmetric and non asymmetric synthesis of pharmaceuticals, natural products and fine chemicals. However, relatively a few reports have been reported regarding the synthesis of chiral or achiral agrochemicals while using organocatalysis. With continuous growing interest in modern agricultural chemistry, this review will provide a comprehensive overview of some important reports on the successful applications of organocatalysts for the synthesis of agrochemicals. The review has summarized the organocatalytic approach for both asymmetric and non-asymmetric synthesis of such chemicals with respect to academic and industrial aspects.
