Asymmetric catalysts

Covering: 1997Previous review: J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1, 1998, 3101This review covers developments in asymmetric catalysis during the calendar year 1997. As in past years this area has continued to grow at a dramatic rate, in view of which the reviewers have had to be very selective in their coverage of the subject. Once again we have attempted to focus on significant new developments rather than attempting to include comprehensively every example.
