Storable, powdered chiral zirconium complex for asymmetric aldol and hetero Diels-Alder reactions.
TL;DR: This chiral Zr catalyst worked efficiently not only for asymmetric aldol reactions but also for asymmetrical hetero Diels-Alder reactions affording the corresponding addition products with high enantioselectivities.

Direct use of allylic alcohols in the allylation of sulfonylimidates.
TL;DR: Stoichiometric amounts of neither activators nor bases are required in this reaction, and catalytic allylation reactions of sulfonylimidates using allylic alcohols as allylating reagents are developed.

Development of chiral catalysts for Mukaiyama aldol reactions in aqueous media.
Taku Kitanosono,Shu Kobayashi +1 more
TL;DR: The ternary catalytic system was able to expand the substrate generality considerably as the most distinguished catalyst ever reported and the superiority of this methodology over conventional methods has also been demonstrated in terms of high catalytic activity, simplicity of experimental procedures, and a wide substrate range including aqueous aldehydes.

Direct Addition of Glycine Derivatives to Enamines
TL;DR: Direct addition of glycine derivatives to enamines proceeded smoothly in the presence of a catalytic amount of a Lewis acid to afford the corresponding α,β-diamino acid derivatives in excellent quality.
