Rational Design of High Performance Catalysts Based on Acid-Base Combination Chemistry

We have studied on rational design of high performance catalysts based on acid–base combination chemistry.  In this lecture, two topics are focused.  One is “Cooperative catalytic system of chiral Lewis base catalysts and Lewis acids for enantioselective halocyclizations.”¹ The other is “Highly active chiral strong Brønsted acid–base salt catalysts for several enantioselective reactions.”²
