Divergent concerted and stepwise cycloadditions via enantioselective cross-conjugated iminium-ion catalysis

Cycloadditions are described as either concerted or stepwise processes, where a catalyst can influence both the mechanism and the peri-, regio- and stereoselectivity. We report experimental and DFT-computational investigations that reveal the versatile reactivities of cross-conju...
