Sumario:<p id="p1">Catalysts by virtue of lowering the activation barrier helps in the completion of a chemical reaction in a lesser amount of time without being themselves consumed. Utilizing the diverse non-covalent interactions in the design and construction of catalysts, recently anion-&pi; interactions were also introduced, giving rise to an emerging field of anion-&pi; catalysis. In the newly constructed anion-&pi; catalysts, significant lowering of activation energy occurs by virtue of anion-&pi; interactions. Till now, several important reactions generating chiral centers have been carried out on the &pi;-acidic surfaces of anion-&pi; catalysts, thereby revealing the significance of anion-&pi; catalysis in the domain of asymmetric synthesis. The motive of this chapter is to highlight the role of anion-&pi; catalysis in asymmetric synthesis and we surely believe that it will offer new opportunities in supramolecular chemistry.</p>
