General Introduction Molecular chirality plays a key role in science and technology. 1 Many organic compounds are chiral and many enantiomerically pure compounds are widely used in the preparation of cosmetics, flavours, pesticides, vitamins and pharmaceuticals. 2 There are many examples which stress the necessity for preparing enantiomerically pure compounds. For example, the market for single enantiomer drugs in 1996 was $ 73 billion, which increased to $ 96 billion in 1998 and to $ 123 billion in 2000. The market for enantiopure materials continues to increase 3; hence the search for efficient ways to access enantiomerically enriched compounds is still an active area of research to synthetic organic chemists. 4 To access enantiomerically pure compounds there are four main approaches. 1. Resolution of a racemic mixture 2. Synthesis from a chiral pool and synthesis using a chiral auxiliary 5 3. Synthesis using biocatalysts (enzymes, cell cultures and antibody) 6 4. Asymmetric catalysis using a man made chiral catalyst. Among this variety of methods, asymmetric catalysis has proved to be an ideal method to prepare naturally and nonnaturally occurring chiral compounds in large quantities by using small amounts of chiral catalyst. In the past three decades, many metal complexes using various chiral ligands have been found that catalyze various reactions with impressive enantioselectivities. However, despite the impressive progress in this area, the design of suitable chiral ligands for a particular application remains a formidable task.
