Summary C 2 -symmetry is still a dominant structural motif Advantage of C 2 -symmetry: reduced number of possible, competing diastereomeric structures Careful consideration of transition states showed that C 2 -symmetry is not always necessary C 1 -symmetric ligands allow the application of steric and electronic differentiation C 1 -symmetric ligands also offer the possibility of creating a single site of reactivity via desymmetrization of transition states With the continuous discovery of new "privileged" frameworks, C 1 -symmetric ligands are likely to play an increasing role in the development of asymmetric catalysis
