Abstract
Asymmetric transformation using chiral crystals which are derived from chiral crystallization of achiral materials has been summarized. Solid-state photoreaction in the chiral crystal environment provides the reproducible absolute asymmetric synthesis via the cycloaddition reaction, hydrogen abstraction reaction, di-π-methane rearrangement, electrocyclization, and the bond-cleavage reaction. Furthermore, asymmetric syntheses using chiral crystals except solid-state photoreactions such as solid–gas reaction, catalytic asymmetric automultiplication, and the reaction in homogeneous conditions are also reviewed.
