COVER PICTURE: Highly Enantioselective Organocatalysis with Bidentate Halogen Bond Donors

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. : RESOLV member Prof. Stefan M. Huber presents the second generation of a bidentate Iodine(I)-based halogen bond donor as a modifiable and highly active chiral halogen bonding catalyst. With these modified derivatives, high stereocontrol of up to 98% ee could be achieved in a model Mukaiyama aldol reaction for a range of different substrates. Importantly, the crucial role of…
