Summary:This report is intended to update the most recent advances in asymmetric synthesis using chiral sulfoxides, focusing on their use as chiral auxiliaries from 2000 to 2006 and their applications in the synthesis of biologically active products. The main purpose of this review is to demonstrate the growing potential of these chiral sulfur reagents in transmitting chirality to other centres, establishing the sulfinyl group as one of the most stereocontrolling elements in numerous asymmetric reactions.
