Structurally constrained C1-1,1′-bisisoquinoline-based chiral ligands: geometrical implications on enantioinduction in the addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes

New advances in dual stereocontrol for asymmetric reactions

Achieving dual stereocontrol in asymmetric reactions using a single enantiomer for the building of the chiral catalyst or auxiliary is a very important goal in enantioselective synthesis as it eliminates the need for having available the two enantiomers of the auxiliary or catalyst designed. Recent strategies and advances towards this goal during the last four years will be discussed throughout this review.
