Graphical Abstract
Mod squad: Multiple small molecules appear to spontaneously self-assemble to form supramolecular amine catalysts that have high reactivity, good efficiency, and enhanced turnover numbers. These modular organocatalysts should be applicable to many iminium as well as hydrogen-bond catalytic reactions and provide new insights into asymmetric catalysis.
