Imidazolininone organocatalysts (MacMillan catalysts) are one of the most effective catalysts, used in many interesting organocatalytic reactions. Their robustness, easy preparation from amino acids, and widespread use, make them one of the most powerful catalysts for general enantioselective transformations. The imidazolidinone catalysts promote new reaction modes in organocatalysis, such as SOMO activation and enantioselective photocatalytic reactions. Herein, the key principles underpinning their functionality and their reported use are summarised.

Abstract
Imidazolininone organocatalysts (MacMillan catalysts) are one of the most effective catalysts, used in many interesting organocatalytic reactions. Their robustness, easy preparation from amino acids, and widespread use, make them one of the most powerful catalysts for general enantioselective transformations. The imidazolidinone catalysts promote new reaction modes in organocatalysis, such as SOMO activation and enantioselective photocatalytic reactions. Herein, the key principles underpinning their functionality and their reported use are summarised.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
