Stereoinduction from chiral ligands on the enolate metal

1 Stereoinduction from chiral ligands on the enolate metal 

Asymmetric induction from chiral ligands on the metal center can be used to produce enantiomerically enriched products from simple prochiral carbonyl compounds. More often, this aldol control element is employed to reinforce or overturn the inherent stereochemical bias of a chiral ketone or aldehyde.
