Applications of "planar-chiral" heterocycles in asymmetric
catalysis*

Abstract: Planar-chiral derivatives of pyridine function as
efficient catalysts for processes such as the kinetic resolution of
primary amines and the desymmetrization/ring-opening of meso epoxides.
Planar-chiral pyrrolyl and phospholyl derivatives serve as effective
chiral ligands for a range of metal-catalyzed reactions, including the
copper-catalyzed ring-expansion of oxetanes and the rhodium-catalyzed
isomerization of allylic alcohols.
