Abstract
The application of stabilized metal carbenes as reactive intermediates in s ynthesis has greatly expanded because of the wide array of structures that are available from these reactions. In order to expand the usefulness of th ese reactions, several investigators have focused on the development of chi ral catalysts that cab effect asymmetric carbene reactions. This review wil l cover the development and application of these catalysts.
