Abstract

Pnictogen-bonding catalysis has emerged as a promising tool for noncovalent transformations; however, its application in asymmetric catalysis remains in its infancy, largely due to the scarcity of efficient chiral catalysts and activating modes. Herein, we report a new class of chiral antimony catalysts featuring strong σ-hole strength and a tunable chiral environment, which are readily assembled…
