| Development of new strategies to access enantiomerically pure compounds is at the forefront of synthetic organic chemistry. In this context, chiral Lewis acid catalysis has emerged as one of the premiere methods to control stereochemistry. Michael addition, a.k.a. conjugate addition, is among the top ten transformations in synthetic organic chemistry. This presentation will illustrate how one can use this venerable reaction in new ways to prepare enantiomerically pure organic compounds. Synthesis of amino acids and carbon-carbon bond formation using radical intermediates will be highlighted. |
