title: Chiral molecules containing the pyrrole framework.
abstract: This review summarizes strategies by which chiral pyrroles, both simple and complex, have been prepared: strategies include formation of the pyrrolic ring using starting materials appended with chirality, as well as the attachment of chirality to a pre-formed pyrrolic ring.
