this is an Invited Personal Account on the development of a novel organocatalytic tool for the Iminium activation of α,β-unsaturated ketones. Recently, we introduced the primary amine catalyst salt 1, made by combining the easily available 9-amino-9-deoxy-epi-hydroquinine with NBoc-D-phenylglycine as the chiral counteranion. Salt 1 exhibits high reactivity and selectivity in the enantioselective conjugate additions of a series of different nucleophiles to unsaturated ketones. The rationale behind the development of this general and efficient iminium activator of enones is discussed.

Abstract
this is an Invited Personal Account on the development of a novel organocatalytic tool for the Iminium activation of α,β-unsaturated ketones. Recently, we introduced the primary amine catalyst salt 1, made by combining the easily available 9-amino-9-deoxy-epi-hydroquinine with NBoc-D-phenylglycine as the chiral counteranion. Salt 1 exhibits high reactivity and selectivity in the enantioselective conjugate additions of a series of different nucleophiles to unsaturated ketones. The rationale behind the development of this general and efficient iminium activator of enones is discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
