Recent Advances in Asymmetric Reactions Catalyzed by Proline and Its Derivatives

Abstract

Asymmetric reactions are carried out by organocatalysis in many ways, making them very competitive and practical. One remarkable molecule, the amino acid proline, has become a crucial component in organocatalysis because of its ability to promote chemical transformations with high enantioselectivity. The following review discusses the contributions and recent advances in the field of asymmetric reactions catalyzed by l-proline and its derivatives.
