Asymmetric CDC Reactions of Aldehydes via Organo-SOMO Catalysis

4 Asymmetric CDC Reactions of Aldehydes via Organo-SOMO Catalysis 

Enantioseleetive organo-SOMO (singly occupied moleeular orbital) eatalysis is a unique and versatile organocatalytic activation mode that features the transient generation of a 3n-radical cation species, whieh ean partieipate in asymmetrie bond construction reactions with a variety of n-rieh nueleophiles or electron-neutral SOMO-philes. Since its introduction in 2007, the enantioselective organo-SOMO activation mode has been utilized to overeome
