Chiral Schiff bases are privileged chiral ligands, capable of transmitting chiral information in many stereoselective processes. Their modular nature, the possibility to modify their electronic character, and their ability to coordinate many metals, gives these chiral ligands broad utility and these have been investigated by many research groups around the world. For more than 20 years our research group has devoted attention to the application of chiral Schiff bases in the development of new stereoselective processes and in this brief survey we present our principal results and achievements in this field.
