Chiral arsenic reagents

Tab. 7.1. Classification of chiral phosphorus or arsenic reagents used in asymmetric olefination. 

Conclusion - The application of biochemical systems to the solution of or-ganochemical problems will continue to expand rapidly, and the few representative examples described herein constitute only the beginning of a very dynamic field. The successful utilization of biochemical chiral reagents is heavily dependent upon the design of suitable substrates, an area where the synthetic chemists can play a major role. It is hoped that before too long chemists will consider biochemical methods a routine powerful addition to their arsenal of synthetic reagents.
