RSC Adv . 2022 May; 10(2):965-972. PMID: 35494435
Starting from easily accessible chiral enantiopure 1,2-amino alcohols and salicylaldehydes, a concise route to cyclic imines has been developed. These chiral cyclic imines undergo a highly diastereoselective Ugi-Joullié reaction to...

Molecules . 2020 Jul; 25(14). PMID: 32679733
A chiral bio-based building block, prepared by the lipase-mediated desymmetrization of an erythritol derivative, was further functionalized and then submitted to stereoselective Passerini reactions, allowing the synthesis of a small...

Drug Discov Today Technol . 2018 Nov; 29:3-9. PMID: 30471671
While often multicomponent reactions (MCR) are used for the diversity-oriented synthesis of racemic (or achiral) molecular entities, this short review describes two alternative approaches for accessing enantiopure products exploiting the...
