Description
Summary:The effects of memory of chirality (MoC) in reactions involving monoradical species are reviewed here. Reactions involving a nonracemic chiral starting material bearing a single stereogenic element such as a chiral center or chiral axis directly involved in the new bond formation are discussed. These reactions lead to a nonracemic product via an intermediate susceptible to rapid racemization. Memory of chirality has been observed in cyclic radicals, aryl, ester/amide substituted acyclic radicals, and benzylic radicals at temperatures up to 130 °C.
