Diastereodivergent is cool: The development of catalytic systems able to generate each and every one of the possible product diastereoisomers from the same starting materials (i.e., that are “diastereodivergent”) is an emerging field in asymmetric catalysis. The possibility of designing such systems in a rational manner based on dual catalysis has now become reality.
