title: Metal-containing carbonyl ylides: versatile reactants in catalytic enantioselective cascade reactions.
abstract: New players in town: In situ generated transition-metal-containing carbonyl ylides are a unique class of reagents which have found wide applications in catalytic asymmetric cascade reactions. Recent advances in reaction design are likely to lead to more novel developments with these reactive species.
