title: Amino acid ligand chirality for enantioselective syntheses.
abstract: Amino acids are attractive sources of chirality in stoichiometric or catalytic transition metal/organic chemistry. In spite of easy availability and other advantages, the application of these ligands is hindered by several problems. Now, at the dawn of emerging D-amino acid biochemistry, efforts in this direction are becoming increasingly important. The results of research on application of amino acid ligands for transition-metal reagents in organic syntheses are reviewed in the present work.
