Abstract:Singh’s catalyst has emerged as one of the most promising and valuable catalysts in the field of asymmetric synthesis. Since its discovery, it has proven to be one of the best organocatalysts for asymmetric direct aldol reactions, and is equally efficient in aqueous and organic media. In this Short Review, we summarize reactions utilizing Singh’s catalyst under various conditions.1 Introduction2 Synthesis of Singh’s Catalyst3 Applications in Asymmetric Synthesis4 Conclusion
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
