ABSTRACT

Catalysis plays a vital role in the chemical, petroleum, agriculture, polymer, electronics, pharmaceutical, and other industries. Over 90% of chemicals originate from catalytic processes [1]. The advancement of methods of asymmetric catalytic synthesis and asymmetric catalytic oxidation in particular is significant for the production of agrochemicals, flavors and fragrances, and pharmaceuticals and vitamins (for which, in many cases, racemic forms are no longer accepted) [2].
