Organocatalytic methods for C-C bond formation.
Beyond doubt organocatalysis belongs to the most exciting and innovative chapters of organic chemistry today. Organocatalysis has emerged not only as a complement to metal-catalyzed reactions or to biocatalysis over the past decade, but also new asymmetric organocatalyzed reactions have been discovered that could not be accomplished by metal- or biocatalyzed reactions so far. This review gives a brief overview of organocatalyzed asymmetric C-C bond formation processes currently available.
