Advances on Greener Asymmetric Synthesis of Antiviral Drugs via Organocatalysis

Viral infections cause many severe human diseases, being responsible for remarkably high mortality rates. In this sense, both the academy and the pharmaceutical industry are continuously searching for new compounds with antiviral activity, and in addition, face the challenge of developing greener an...
