The concept of sustainable chemistry is gaining tremendous attention in the scientific community as it addresses the increasing challenges of resource scarcity, environmental pollution and rising demand for energy. Thus, the development of efficient and sustainable processes is an important task of modern organic synthesis. A convenient way to tackle the requirements of high selectivities, quantitative yields and high-atom economies resulting in improved environmental performance is to consider chemocatalyzed steps in the synthetic route.

The power of chemocatalysis and particularly asymmetric catalysis is well recognized and was previously awarded with the Nobel Prize in 2001 for Knowles, Noyori and Sharpless; further recognition was provided again just recently in 2021 fo ... ...
