Chirality transfer and memory of chirality in gold-catalyzed reactions.
Over the last few years, gold-catalyzed reactions that involved chirality transfer and memory of chirality (MOC) have emerged as a powerful tool in enantioselective synthesis. This technique has allowed for the single-step synthesis of enantioenriched compounds from readily available starting materials. This Focus Review discusses this emerging field with an emphasis on mechanistic aspects and their applications in synthetic organic chemistry.
