In this review, the versatility of amino acid derived auxiliaries in asymmetric synthesis is discussed. Different reactions such as enolate reactions, Michael additions, nucleophilic additions to C=X bonds, cycloadditions, rearrangements, ortho lithiations, radical reactions, and reductions which were performed stereoselectively by using these chiral auxiliaries will be presented.

Amino acids and their derivatives are versatile auxiliaries in many different organic reactions
