Mechanisms in aminocatalysis

The mechanisms of the α-, β- and γ-functionalisations of aldehydes and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes by secondary amines are presented and discussed. Mechanisms in organocatalysis are often more complex than initially anticipated. This feature article is devoted to the mechanistical investigations withi...

Description
Summary:The mechanisms of the α-, β- and γ-functionalisations of aldehydes and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes by secondary amines are presented and discussed. Mechanisms in organocatalysis are often more complex than initially anticipated. This feature article is devoted to the mechanistical investigations within this field delivering a - hopefully - coherent picture.
