Asymmetric Organocatalysis with Chiral Covalent Organic Frameworks

Abstract

Abstract Inspired by Mother Nature, the use of chiral covalent organic frameworks as heterogeneous asymmetric organocatalysts has arisen over the last decade as a new method in enantioselective synthesis. In this Short Review, sophisticated design of these polymeric materials and their application in asymmetric organocatalysis will be discussed.
