Recent Applications in the Use of Sulfoxides as Chiral Auxiliaries for the Asymmetric Synthesis of Natural and Biologically Active Products

Abstract

The contribution of chiral sulfoxides as versatile auxiliaries in the field of organic chemistry has shown a prevalent interest in the asymmetric synthesis of natural products during the last 45 years. In this short review, we report the recent applications of these chiral auxiliaries to the synthesis of natural and biological active products highlighted from 2010 to 2019. We hope to allow the reader to have an overview of the potential of sulfoxide chemistry in the field of enantio­selective synthesis.
