ABSTRACT:
A review with 337 refs. discusses the application of organocatalysts in asym. org. synthesis. The article is divided into 3 major sections (nucleophilic addn. to electron deficient carbon-carbon double bonds, nucleophilic addn. to carbon-oxygen double bonds, and nucleophilic addn. to carbon-nitrogen double bonds), which are further subdivided according to the different types of reactions (Michael reactions, aldol reactions, Mannich reactions, etc.).
