Abstract
“Privileged ligands” are chiral auxiliaries of wide applicability in asymmetric catalysis. In the previous decades, their effective three-dimensional structures have often been reproduced by using building blocks from a “chiral pool”, such as the carbohydrates. This strategy has provided unique ligand moieties which combine the performance of “privileged ligands” with increased flexibility and accessibility. This review gives an overview of the research within this field, giving emphasis to the best results obtained with each ligand type.
