Catalytic Asymmetric Strecker Reactions
The state-of-the-art catalytic asymmetric Strecker reaction was reported by Eric N. Jacobsen in 2009 by using thiourea derived catalyst.
In 2012, a simple BINOL-derived catalyst was employed to generate chiral cyanide anion.

Famous quotes containing the word reactions:
“Separation anxiety is normal part of development, but individual reactions are partly explained by experience, that is, by how frequently children have been left in the care of others.... A mother who is never apart from her young child may be saying to him or her subliminally: “You are only safe when I’m with you.””
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
