Special Issue: Asymmetric Synthesis 2017

Abstract

The use of asymmetric synthetic methodologies plays a crucial role, nowadays, in the preparation of bioactive or other interesting compounds. Developments in this fast-moving area are constant, from the classical direct modification of naturally found chiral molecules to the use of catalyzed reactions using metal complexes bearing chiral ligands or chiral metal-free organocatalysts. This Special Issue aims to collect research and review articles showing significant and remarkable examples of the use of all these different methodologies to access the asymmetric synthesis of compounds of interest.
