Various structurally unprecedented organocatalysts have been demonstrated to provide products with good to excellent enantioselectivities in a number of asymmetric transformations (including indole alkylations, hetero-Diels Alder reactions, and Michael-type additions to aryl nitro alkenes). Reactions in ball mills allow performing some of those (and other) asymmetric organocatalyses with lower catalyst loadings and improved substrate ratios under solvent-free conditions.
