Abstract
Tandem and domino reactions constitute economic methodologies to prepare complex molecules starting from simple materials. Especially, combining these powerful procedures to asymmetric catalysis allows direct access to many elaborated chiral products, including important key intermediates in total syntheses of important biologically active compounds. A range of various types of chiral organocatalysts have already been successfully applied to such syntheses. This review presents major developments in the total synthesis of bioactive products based on the use of enantioselective organocatalytic domino/tandem reactions as key steps. It is divided into three parts, dealing successively with syntheses based on organocatalytic asymmetric Michael-initiated domino reactions as key steps; aldol-initiated domino/tandem reactions and other domino reactions.
Keywords: Total synthesis, bioactive products, enantioselective domino/tandem reactions, organocatalysis, asymmetric catalysis, chirality.

Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
