An enantiopure pseudo-C3-symmetric titanium triflate with propeller-like chirality as a catalyst for asymmetric sulfoxidation reactions.
A chiral pseudo-C(3)-symmetric titanium triflate that employs the point chirality of a single stereogenic centre to control the propeller chirality of its aryl rings has been used to catalyse an asymmetric sulfoxidation reaction.
