Abstract
The gauche effect that is induced upon reversible formation of an iminium ion (see structure: green F, blue N) provides a powerful method for the preorganization of transient intermediates that are central to secondary amine catalyzed processes. This phenomenon has been exploited in the design of a novel organocatalyst and is showcased in the stereoselective epoxidation of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes.Entities:
