Abstract
Unique organocatalysis of both naturally occurring cinchona alkaloid-derived and purely synthetic chiral quaternary ammonium fluorides in synthetically useful stereoselective bond-forming reactions is overviewed. The development of this chemistry was initiated by the in situ generation of generally hygroscopic ammonium fluorides from the corresponding easy-to-handle ammonium salts in the presence of excess metal fluorides and their direct use for subsequent enantioselective reactions. On the other hand, chiral ammonium fluorides have been prepared by using ion-exchange resins and successfully applied as catalyst to various asymmetric bond formation reactions under homogeneous conditions. In addition, utilization of chiral quaternary ammonium bifluorides as organocatalysts in asymmetric synthesis is described, featuring their characteristic reactivity and selectivity.Keywords
