Organic molecule-mediated selective catalysis (i.e. selective organocatalysis) has evolved into a generally applicable, powerful strategy for asymmetric synthesis over the last several years. This lecture will present synthetic and mechanistic studies focusing on the development of weak-bonding catalysis with organic molecules directed towards the activation of nucleophiles for the realizations of asymmetric transformations of synthetic importance.
