Current methods for asymmetric halogenation of olefins.

Journal article

This Minireview discusses the progress made in developing reactions where an olefin is subjected to an asymmetric halogenation. It aims to serve as a reference for the studies reported to date, including preliminary work and mechanistic studies. The current state of the art, scope, and limitations of these processes are discussed.
