Dipeptide-Based Phosphonium Salt Catalysis: Application to Enantioselective Synthesis of Fused Tri- and Tetrasubstituted Aziridines

This article briefly discusses the recent development in asymmetric reactions (mainly including nucleophilic additions and cyclizations) promoted by chiral quaternary phosphonium salt catalysts. We expect that more catalytic asymmetric reactions will be developed on the basis of such new phase-transfer catalytic systems in the near future.
