Dual stereocontrol over the Henry reaction using a light- and heat-triggered organocatalyst.

Here we present a novel dynamic organocatalyst, based on a first-generation molecular motor core, able to control the stereochemical outcome of the Henry reaction using both light and heat as external stimuli.
