Organocatalysts are one of the bravest attempts to mimic enzyme catalysis that Mother Nature uses. A Chiral Organocatalyst is a small organic molecule that can catalyze reactions in the absence of metals or metal ions. Cinchona Alkaloids are chiral organic compounds that can be used as chiral catalyst in many reactions such as aldol condensation, Mannich reaction, Henry reaction or Michael addition.
