Description
Summary:Planar chirality is an important form of molecular chirality that can be utilized to induce enantioselectivity when incorporated into transition metal catalysts. However, due to synthetic constraints, the use of late transition metal planar chiral complexes to conduct enantioselective transformations has been limited. Additionally, the published methods surrounding the stereochemical assignment of planar chiral compounds are sometimes conflicting, making proper assignment difficult. This review aims to provide clarity on the methods available to assign planar chirality and provide an overview on the synthesis and use of late transition metal planar chiral complexes as enantioselective catalysts. Planer chiral complexes emerge as powerful tools for enantioselective catalysis.
