Current methods for asymmetric halogenation of olefins.

This Minireview discusses the progress made in developing reactions where an olefin is subjected to an asymmetric halogenation. It aims to serve as a reference for the studies reported to date, including preliminary work and mechanistic studies. The current state of the art, scope, and limitations o...

Summary:This Minireview discusses the progress made in developing reactions where an olefin is subjected to an asymmetric halogenation. It aims to serve as a reference for the studies reported to date, including preliminary work and mechanistic studies. The current state of the art, scope, and limitations of these processes are discussed.
