Cooperative bimetallic catalysis in asymmetric transformations

Abstract

The efficient synthesis of enantioenriched compounds is becoming increasingly important in modern organic, pharmaceutical, and materials chemistry. Recently, chiral cooperative bimetallic catalysts have emerged as a powerful tool to achieve high efficiency and selectivity in asymmetric transformations. This tutorial review highlights strategies and recent advances in cooperative bimetallic catalysts which have been developed for a variety of asymmetric transformations.
