C, 92% ee at -20 °C, 88% ee at 0°C in the reaction of acrolein and cyclopen-tadiene). This is unusual for metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions, with only few similar examples. The titanium catalyst 10 acts as a suitable chiral template for the conformational fixing of a,/ -unsaturated aldehydes, thereby enabling efficient enantioface recognition, irrespective of temperature.

One 7i-bond of an aromatic ring can be converted to a cyclohexadiene 1,2-diol by reaction with enzymes associated with P. putida A variety of substituted aromatic compounds can be oxidized, including bromobenzene, chlorobenzene, " and toluene. In these latter cases, introduction of the hydroxyl groups generates a chiral molecule that can be used as a template for asymmetric syntheses. " ...

The preparation of BINAP reported in 1980 has marked a landmark in asymmetric catalysis and has illustrated the peculiar stereorecognitive properties inherent with the axially chiral 1,1 -binaphthalene framework. Since then, a great deal of work has been devoted to the preparation of binaphthalene-templated ligands of related design. These efforts have resulted in the... 

Enantiomerically pure bis-benzothiazines 87 and 89, are potentially useful templates for asymmetric catalysis. The Harmata group reported their syntheses from the corresponding dibromodialdehydes 86 and 88 under the reaction conditions used for the production of (/ )-79 (Scheme 24) <99AG(E)2419>.

Fig. 10 Schematic representation of the nanoreplication processes from block copolymers, a Growth of high-density nanowires from a nanoporous block copolymer thin film. An asymmetric PS-fc-PMMA diblock copolymer was aligned to form vertical PMMA cylinders under an electric field. After removal of the PMMA minor component, a nanoporous film is formed. By electrodeposition, an array of nanowires can be replicated in the porous template (adapted from [43]). b Hexagonally packed array of aluminum caps generated from rod-coil microporous structures. Deposition of aluminum was achieved on the photooxidized area of the rod-coil honeycomb structure (Taken from [35])...

Molecular imprinted polymers MIPs exhibit predetermined enan-tioselectivity for a specific chiral molecnle, which is nsed as the chiral template dnring the imprinting process. Most MIPs are obtained by copolymerization from a mixture consisting of a fnnctional mono-nnsatn-rated (vinylic, acrylic, methacrylic) monomer, a di- or tri-nnsatnrated cross-linker (vinylic, acrylic, methacrylic), a chiral template (print molecnle) and a porogenic solvent to create a three-dimensional network. When removing the print molecnle, chiral cavities are released within the polymer network. The MIP will memorize the steric and functional binding featnres of the template molecnle. Therefore, inclusion of the enantiomers into the asymmetric cavities of this network can be assumed as... 

Last year, a short enantioselective total synthesis of herbarumin III (42) in 11% overall yield was published the approach applied uses Keck s asymmetric allylation and Sharpless epoxidation to build the key fragment. Esterification with 5-hexenoic acid and a RCM was used to yield 42. Finally, another asymmetric synthesis of herbarumin III (42) was carried out using (R)-cyclohexylidene glyceraldehyde as the chiral template. The key steps of the synthesis were the enantioselective preparation of the...
