Oxoammonium catalysis enables enantioselective desymmetrization of meso-pyrrolidines
Oxoammonium-catalyzed desymmetrization of meso-pyrrolidines via enantioselective hydride transfer with over 90% ee, featuring mechanistic insights from isolated intermediates.

Chiral carbon-bonding donors showed asymmetric induction
—
Carbon-bonding donors induce asymmetric induction via noncovalent interaction, demonstrated through oxa-Pictet-Spengler cyclization with oxocarbenium intermediates.
