2.12 Asymmetric Catalysis of Radical Reactions

H. Subramaniann; M. P. Sibi

Abstract

Synthetic methodologies based on radical chemistry are efficient and powerful tools for the construction of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds. This chapter highlights the significance of asymmetric catalysis in free-radical reactions. Several asymmetric catalytic principles, ranging from early chiral Lewis acid and organocatalytic activation to recent photoredox and transition-metal-based asymmetric catalytic systems, are discussed.

Key words
