Asymmetric
phase transfer catalysis has been recognized as an approach that is
greener and more sustainable than synthetic alternatives and has evolved
into one of the most practical methods in challenging enantioselective
synthesis. An overview of the current status of asymmetric phase
transfer catalysis in industry is presented by summarizing research
progress from both journal publications and patent applications.
