Catalysts play a major role in chemical synthesis, and catalysis is considered to be a green and economic process. Catalysis is dominated by covalent interactions between the catalyst and substrate. The design of non-covalent catalysts came into limelight only recently. Hydrogen bonding (HB) catalysts are well established among non-covalent catalysts, including asymmetric HB catalysts. Though halogen bonding (XB) catalysis and its asymmetric version are gaining admiration, non-covalent chalcogen bonding catalysis (ChB) is in the budding stage. This tutorial review will focus on the recently evolved chalcogen bonding catalysis and emphasis will be given to the chalcogen bonding of chiral molecules. Since successful enantioselective chalcogen bonding catalysis is yet to be reported, this review will focus on the basics of non-covalent bonding catalysis, chalcogen bonding catalysis, chiral chalcogenide synthesis, rigidification of transition states by ChB, stabilization of cations by chiral chalcogens, details of unsuccessful asymmetric chalcogen bonding catalysis, enantioseparation of racemic molecules using ChB, and the existence of ChB in chiral biomolecules.
