  • Methods of performing cycloadditions, reaction mixtures, and methods of performing asymmetric catalytic reactions
    Patent number: 8513442
    Abstract: Methods of performing cycloadditions are described that include (a) combining a first reactant and a second reactant in a hydrogen bonding solvent to form a reaction mixture; and (b) reacting the first reactant and the second reactant to form a cycloadduct. Methods of performing asymmetric catalytic reactions are also described that include (a) combining a first reactant, a second reactant, and a catalytic amount of a chiral hydrogen-bond donor in a solvent to form a reaction mixture; and (b) reacting the first reactant and the second reactant to form an enantiomeric excess of a reaction product. Reaction mixtures corresponding to these methods are also described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 11, 2007
    Date of Patent: August 20, 2013
    Assignee: The University of Chicago
    Inventors: Viresh H. Rawal, Yong Huang, Aditya K. Unni, Avinash N. Thadani
