Harnessing single amino acid catalysis : development of the enantioselective intramolecular Morita-Baylis-Hillman and Rauhut-Currier reactions and studies toward the synthesis of (+)-SCH 642305

Thesis advisor: J. Scott Miller === The development of two catalytic asymmetric synthetic methods is presented and culminates with studies of their application to the synthesis of a natural product. The intramolecular variant of the Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reaction has remained almost un...
