Catalytic Asymmetric Reactions by Metal and Chiral Phosphoric Acid Sequential Catalysis

Catalytic asymmetric reactions promoted by metal catalysts and chiral phosphoric acids have become useful processes for the preparation of structurally diverse and complex organic compounds. This JOCSynopsis provides an overview of the most recent developments made in studies of these reactions. The paper focuses mainly on sequential catalysis and relay catalysis, which are accomplished by employing a combination of metal complexes and chiral phosphoric acids.
