Organocatalysis activation modes

Stereoselective Organocatalysis Bond Formation Methodologies and Activation Modes, First Edition. Edited by Ramon Rios Torres. 

In this book, we try to give an overview of the field of organocatalysis with particular emphasis on later developments in the field. First, we will introduce the different activation modes and catalysts. Next, we show a different approach of organocatalysis not based on the different activation modes, but based on the nature of the bond formed. From C-C bond forming reactions to C-heteroatom bond formation through cascade, multicomponent reactions, we will try to give a clear of the state-of-the-art picture of this field.
