Abstract

In the vast and expanding world of enantioselective organocascades, the ones in which two C-heteroatom bonds are created from two distinct heteroatoms are rare. These fascinating domino processes constitutes real synthetic challenges and allow very convenient syntheses of diverse optically active heterocycles and also highly functionalised acyclic derivatives.
