Chiral Analysis by NMR Spectroscopy: Chiral Solvating Agents

This chapter will focus on the use of chiral solvating agents (CSAs) for the detection and quantification of enantiomeric substrates by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, with the aim of identifying the trend of the researches on this topic in this last decade. The main classes of CSAs will be described, spanning from low-to-medium-sized CSAs to structurally complex systems with highly preorganized structures. CSA features will be outlined by means of several examples, which are not meant to cover all the literature on each of the topics
