Advances in desymmetrising asymmetric radical chemistry by SUSTech researchers

Enantioselective desymmetrization of a prochiral or meso compound is a powerful tool for the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched molecules. Over the past decade, there has been tremendous progress in the area of developing new enantioselective desymmetrization reactions. However, in contrast to widely explored polar desymmetrization transformations, only a limited number of catalytic enantioselective radical desymmetrization […]
