Paracyclophanes in Action: Asymmetric Catalytic Dialkylzinc Addition to Imines Using [2.2]Paracyclophane-based N,O-Ligands as Catalysts

Recent synthetic applications of α-amido sulfones as precursors of N-acylimino derivatives

α-Amido sulfones can be directly used as N-acylimine or N-acyliminium ion precursors in several synthetic processes aimed at the preparation of nitrogen containing compounds. This review collects the most relevant and practical utilizations of α-amido sulfones appeared in the literature after 2005.
