Abstract
This review covers literature on enantioselective synthesis of molecules with substituted quaternary carbon stereocenters from 1992 to 2002. In this overview, we will consider not only the construction of stereocenter itself by generation of carbon-carbon bond or heteroatom-carbon bond, but also other approachs which deal with the preparation of chiral compounds having this type of stereocenters, such as resolution or enantioselective desymmetrization.
Keywords: Enantioselective, Oxygen-, Nitrogen- and Halogen, stereocenters, chiral compounds, desymmetrization
