Abstract
Tandem and domino reactions constitute economic methodologies to prepare complex molecules starting from simple materials. Especially, combining these powerful procedures to asymmetric catalysis allows direct access to many elaborated chiral products, including important key intermediates in total syntheses of important biologically active compounds. A range of various types of chiral organocatalysts have already been successfully applied to such syntheses. This review presents major developments in the total synthesis of bioactive products based on the use of enantioselective organocatalytic domino/tandem reactions as key steps. It is divided into three parts, dealing successively with syntheses based on organocatalytic asymmetric Michael-initiated domino reactions as key steps; aldol-initiated domino/tandem reactions and other domino reactions.
Keywords: Total synthesis, bioactive products, enantioselective domino/tandem reactions, organocatalysis, asymmetric catalysis, chirality.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
Chemistry and Biology of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant natural products and are considered to be extremely important biomolecules for their ever-increasing impact on chemistry and biology. Their role in several important biological processes, notably energy storage, transport, modulation of protein function, intercellular adhesion, malignant transformation, signal transduction, viral, and bacterial cell ...read more
