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.

“Cuteness in children is totally an adult perspective. The children themselves are unaware that the quality exists, let alone its desirability, until the reactions of grownups inform them.”
