Application of Chiral Ionic Liquids for Asymmetric Induction in Catalysis

Here we present the state-of-the-art for asymmetric catalysis using chiral ionic liquids (CILs) as source of chiral information. The current review covers reactions using typical homogeneous catalysts e.g. organocatalysts, transition metal complexes and solid catalysts for heterogeneous catalysis in solvent-systems with chiral ionic liquids.
