Enantioselective Epoxidation Via Chiral Metal-Salen Complexes

Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the current advancements in the field of asymmetric inorganic catalysis with the aim of producing natural chemicals via synthesis. Natural products play a crucial role in the drug discovery process and the creation of novel therapeutic agents. Asymmetric catalysis has emerged as a very efficient technique for the accurate and efficient synthesis of chiral natural chemicals. Traditionally, organic catalysts have been the main focus in this field. However, there is a growing trend towards using inorganic catalysts due to their unique reactivity, stability, and capacity to be adjusted. The objective of this work is to clarify notable examples of unequal inorganic catalysis used in the production of natural compounds. Furthermore, it explores the underlying principles that regulate these catalytic processes and analyzes the future prospects and challenges connected with this rapidly evolving field.
