Abstract

Asymmetric synthesis, particularly those em- metric Synthesis” a successful one. ploying catalytic approach, is one of the most important research fields in organic synthesis providing chiral compounds in an enantiopure form. The latter is critical since the two enantiomers of one chiral compound, in many cases, have a different response in biological sys- tems. The huge markets of non-racemic chiral com- pounds as synthetic intermediates, pharmaceuticals, materials, and many others increase the demand for their synthesis in a highly enantioselective manner.
