Organocatalyzed asymmetric reaction using α-isothiocyanato compounds has received much attention in the past 5 years, and significant progress has been made for three types of isothiocyanato compounds, including α-isothiocyanato amides, esters, and phosphonates. This chapter covers the recent advances of α-isothiocyanato compounds in the organocatalytic asymmetric reaction.
