Abstract
In spite of the tremendous growth experienced by the field of asymmetric organocatalysis in the last decade, it is important to realize that we are still far away from having explored all of the possible pathways in organocatalysis ‘territory’; the application of the organocatalysis concept can still provide new catalysts and reactions for a variety of asymmetric organic transformations. To exemplify this assertion, we summarize the research performed in our laboratory over the past two years which has led to the development of new enantioselective approaches to organometallic compounds, to the desymmetrization of prochiral ketones, to functionalized cyclopropanes and piperidines, to fluorinated compounds, and to quaternary α-amino acids, among others.
