The present thesis reviews the development of a formal enantiodivergent
synthesis of the (+)- and (-)-isomers of balanol. This approach commences from a
cis-dihydrodiol derived from the enzymatic ...
Compounds containing the pyrrolidine moiety are key substructures of
compounds with biological activity and organocatalysts. In particular, annulated
chiral pyrrolidines with alpha stereogenic ...
The present studies describe our recent work on expanding the use of the Burgess
reagent and its reaction with oxiranes. Several new variants of the Burgess reagent and its
chiral auxiliary version were evaluated for ...
