Intramolecular Hydrogen-Bond Activation: Strategies, Benefits, and Influence in Catalysis
Andrea Guerrero‐Corella, Alberto Fraile, José Alemán
Abstract
The activation of molecules through intramolecular hydrogen-bond formation to promote chemical reactions appears as a suitable strategy in organic synthesis, especially for the preparation of chiral compounds under metal and organocatalytic conditions. The use of this interaction has enabled reactivity enhancement of reagents, as well as stabilization of the chemical species and enantiocontrol of the processes.
