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:
“Prolonged, indiscriminate reviewing of books is a quite exceptionally thankless, irritating and exhausting job. It not only involves praising trash but constantly inventing reactions towards books about which one has no spontaneous feeling whatever.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
