Description
Summary: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. Making memories: Much progress has been made in gold‐catalyzed reactions that involve chirality transfer from the substrates to the products. The syntheses, mechanisms, and applications for reactions that involved chirality memory are discussed.
