The synthesis and study of organosilanols can lead to the development of effective hydrogen-bonding catalysts and chiral ligands for Lewis acid catalysis. This
Synthesis and the first proof-of-concept for silanediol hydrogen-bonding organocatalysis are demonstrated, showing that organic silanediols exhibit a new mode o
Catalytic asymmetric synthesis has been one of the most active research areas in chemistry (Nobel Prize in 2001). The development of efficient chiral catalysts
This thesis focuses on the first synthesis and application of planar-chiral [2.2]paracyclophane- derived hydrogen-bond donor catalysts, thereby inducing a uniqu
Chapter 0 (Introduction): This chapter introduces the basic concepts of organocatalysts and importance of hydrogen-bonding interactions. This chapter also descr
