I am Assistant Professor at Motilal Nehru College, University of Delhi, Delhi. I did my PhD in Organic Chemistry from Department of Chemistry, University of Delhi. I have research interest in Asymmetric Synthesis and Peptide Nucleic Acids.
Tremendous efforts have been put toward the design and synthesis of newer enantioselective organocatalysts for the enanatioselective synthesis. Recently, guanidine-containing chiral organocatalysts have attracted considerable attention due to their ease of synthesis and high enantioselective catalytic activities. This chapter highlights the successive development of chiral guanidine organocatalysts in asymmetric organic transformation reactions in the past few decades.
