Cooperative bimetallic catalysis in asymmetric transformations

Chem Soc Rev. 2012 Nov 7;41(21):6931-43. doi: 10.1039/c2cs35129c.

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.
