Since the 1990s the synthetic community has shown a growing
interest in the development of catalytic reactions that employ
entirely organic catalysts - so-called 'organocatalysts'. With the
current emphasis on green chemistry throughout the chemical
industry, organocatalysis has become indispensible. In spite of
this growth and recognition, there can be a misconception that
organocatalysts are only based on nitrogen-containing functional
groups (amines, ureas, and quaternary ammonium salts, for example),
and are only useful for asymmetric reactions. Nonnitrogenous
Organocatalysis shows that the umbrella of organocatalysis covers
other main group elements besides nitrogen, and the coverage is not
just limited to asymmetric methods. Many of the catalysts and
mechanisms discussed may not have a viable asymmetric variant or
cannot be rendered asymmetric at all. This does not make them any
less useful, as illustrated in this book.
