Homogeneous asymmetric catalysis dendritic catalysts

It is clear tliat the attachment of chiral catalysts to dendrimer supports offers a potential combination of the advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous asymmetric catalysis, and provides a very promising solution to the catalyst-product separation problem. However, one major problem which limits the practical application of these complicated macromolecules is their tedious synthesis. Thus, the development of more efficient ways to access enantioselective dendritic catalysts with high activity and reusability remains a major challenge in the near future.
