New insights in the search for chiral Brønsted bases.
The concept of using chiral bases in asymmetric synthesis appeared with the emergence of the chemistry of chiral lithium amides. In recent years, new classes of chiral bases, such as chiral magnesium bisamides and chiral alkali alkoxides have proven to be highly efficient and easy to handle. This paper highlights recent advances and new concepts in the chemistry of this second generation of chiral bases.
