Organocatalyzed asymmetric reactions via microwave activation.
[reaction: see text] Organocatalyzed asymmetric microwave-assisted reactions are described. Significant rate enhancements and a decrease of catalyst loading via microwave activation have been observed, while maintaining good to high yields and selectivities compared to literature results.
