Résumé :

Tröger's base is a well-known chiral molecule with a few unusual structural features. Synthetic chemistry of analogues of Tröger's base has been greatly developed and some of these molecules have found interesting applications in supramolecular chemistry and in molecular recognition. Since a few excellent, comprehensive reviews and book chapters devoted to various aspects of Tröger's base chemistry have been published relatively recently, a complete coverage of the related topics and of the relevant literature was not the purpose of this account. Instead, we have tried to give a short overview of historical developments, to cover the most important aspects of the chemistry of Tröger's base and its analogues and to focus on the recent achievements and on the accompanying controversies that have been revisited in recent years. We have attempted, however, to provide a possibly complete coverage of the scientific literature published in the last two years and therefore not cited by the previous reviews and accounts.
