Theoretical investigation into asymmetric iminium ion organocatalysis

The scope of this thesis covered three main areas of this emerging area of chemistry. A reaction pathway is proposed for the formation of iminium ion intermediates from the reaction of secondary amines with carbonyl compounds. This suggests the deprotonation of the amine as the rate-determining step...
