Background and Originality Content The chiral isothioureas have emerged as one of the most powerful organocatalysts for the construction of enantioenriched molecules with high efficiency and enantioselectivity.[1] Since the first discovery by Birman group in 2006,[2] these isothioureas have been shown to react with a broad range of substrates, including carboxylic acids,[3] esters,[4] anhydrides,[5] and other compounds,[6] to form C(1)-ammonium enolate intermediates.
