Enamine Catalysis -- Iminium Catalysis -- Combined Iminium-Enamine Catalyzed Approaches -- Single Occupied Molecular Orbital (SOMO) Catalysis -- Asymmetric Phase-Transfer Catalysis -- Chiral Brønsted Acids and Hydrogen Bonding Donors -- Chiral Brønsted and Lewis Bases.-Asymmetric Oxidations and Reductions.

This book provides the reader with an illustrative overview concerning successful and widely used applications of organocatalysis in the field of natural product synthesis. The main focus will be on organocatalytic key-steps for each (multi-step) synthesis described, whereas other often particularly innovative transformations will be omitted, as this would be beyond the scope of this volume.
