Abstract

Organocatalysis is one of the most vibrant research areas in synthetic chemistry at present. In this short review, some of the impressive recent advances in organocatalysis are discussed. Papers published in 2004 describing the use of (i) enamine type activation of aldehydes and ketones, and (ii) catalysis that proceeds by the formation of hydrogen bonds are highlighted.
