Rapid screening for asymmetric catalysts: the efficient connection of two different catalytic asymmetric reactions.
A screening method for asymmetric catalysts is reported in which a metal-containing optically-active product of an asymmetric reaction is employed as a chiral catalyst in another asymmetric reaction; the rapid preparation and instant testing system of catalysts resulted in a considerable reduction in the time required for the screening process.
