common tactic to improve the outcome of organic reactions. Herein, by using an organocatalytic process for the synthesis of chiral diarylmethyl alkynes as a platform, we describe how an additive is involved in the improvement of the process. The evolution of an excellent synthetic protocol has been achieved in three stages, from 1) initially no catalyst turnover, to 2) good conversion and enantioselectivity
使用添加剂进行有机合成已成为改善有机反应结果的常用策略。在本文中,通过使用有机催化方法合成手性二芳基甲基炔烃为平台,我们描述了添加剂如何参与改进方法。从三个方面实现了出色的合成方案的发展:从1)最初没有催化剂周转,到2)具有优良添加剂的良好转化率和对映选择性,以及最终3)在没有添加剂的情况下甚至具有更高的效率和选择性。这项研究是一个重要而罕见的证明,即了解添加剂的作用可能会有益于消除添加剂的需求。
