Abstract

Dual activation has been identified as an important concept in the field of asymmetric catalysis, especially asymmetric organocatalysis. A comprehensive account of the design of novel amino hydrogen-bonding organocatalysts and their successful applications in two classic carbon-carbon bond forming reactions, namely the asymmetric aldol and Michael reactions, is given. This account also covers work that uses known organocatalysts in the preparation of other important chiral molecules using the asymmetric Michael reaction as the key transformation by virtue of a dual activation strategy.

1 Introduction
