Chiral thioether-based catalysts in asymmetric synthesis: recent advances.
Chiral, non-racemic, thioethers have provided organic chemists with useful tools for developing new reagents and catalysts for practical modern asymmetric synthesis. Disclosed herein is a brief personal overview on major recent contributions in this field in which the sulfur atom plays a leading role in the reaction pathway.
