Nowadays, asymmetric catalysis is undoubtedly the most important tool to achieve this goal. This technology, in fact, enables the production of large amounts of enantiomerically enriched compounds, employing relatively small quantities of chiral enantiopure catalysts, which is exactly what is accomplished by enzymes in nature. Since the pioneering works of Noyori, Knowles and Sharpless, which later earned them the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, asymmetric catalysis has experienced a rapid and relentless development in the last fifty years. The tremendous expansion of enantioselective transformations, the design of novel and more efficient organometallic and organic catalysts, the development of sophisticated bioreactors and cell factories, are just some of the elements responsible for such growth. However, new challenges of asymmetric catalysis are devoted to enhancing the process's sustainability, by the introduction of recyclable and low-cost catalysts, and the use of renewable starting materials and energy source. This book provides an overview of some of these development directions and comprises a collection of review papers and a research article authored by renowned researchers actively involved in this field. The topics covered by the review papers are photoredox-catalyzed reactions of imines, asymmetric catalytic electrosynthesis, cooperative catalysis of chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes and Lewis acid, and asymmetric ring-opening reactions of epoxides catalyzed by metal-salen complexes. The research article presents a proline-catalyzed aldol reaction in water-methanol solvent mixture. 606 $aResearch and information: general$2bicssc 610 $aamines 610 $aasymmetric aldol reaction 610 $aasymmetric catalysis 610 $aasymmetric synthesis 610 $acooperative catalysis 610 $aelectrochemistry 610 $aenantioselectivity 610 $aepoxide 610 $aimines 610 $akinetic resolution 610 $aLewis acid 610 $amethanol/water mixtures 610 $aN-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) 610 $an/a 610 $aorganic electrosynthesis 610 $aorganocatalysis 610 $aphotoredox catalysis 610 $aproline 610 $aradical additions 610 $aradical-radical couplings 610 $aring-opening 610 $asalen complexes 610 $astereoselectivity 610 $asustainability 610 $atransition-metal catalysis 610 $aumpolung 610 $aumpolung chemistry 610 $avisible light 615 7$aResearch and information: general 700 $aDella Sala$b Giorgio$4edt$01326451 702 $aSchettini$b Rosaria$4edt 702 $aDella Sala$b Giorgio$4oth 702 $aSchettini$b Rosaria$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557355803321 996 $aNew Trends in Asymmetric Catalysis$93037448 997 $aUNINA
