ORGANIC SALTS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING CHIRAL ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing chiral organic compounds by asymmetric catalysis, using ionic catalysts comprising a chiral catalyst anion. The claimed method is suitable for reactions which are carried out over cationic intermediate stages, such as imnium ions or acyl pyridinium ions. The invention enables the production of chiral compounds with high ee values, that until now could only be obtained by means of costly purification methods.
