Recent developments in chiral anion mediated asymmetric chemistry.
Chemical reactions and processes often involve cationic prostereogenic or racemic reagents, intermediates or products. To afford instead non-racemic or enantiopure compounds, an asymmetric ion pairing of the cations with chiral anionic counterions can be considered. This review presents recent examples of the synthesis and use of chiral anions for stereoselective purposes.
