This review mainly focus on the assembly of chiral benzoheterocycles, such as dihydrobenzofurans, chromans, indolines, tetrahydroquinolines, etc., via Earth-abundant metal-catalyzed (Cu, Fe, Ni, and Ti) asymmetric synthesis in the last few decades.
The applications of 2-hydroxy-β-nitrostyrenes as efficient bifunctional intermediates for the asymmetric synthesis of chromans, chromenes, coumarins, benzofurans, natural products, and other cyclic and acyclic compounds were reviewed in this paper.
This review aims to collect advancements in enantioselective palladium-catalyzed cyclization reactions over the past eleven years, and it is organized into thirteen sections depending on the different types of transformations involved.
An asymmetric organocatalytic formal [4 + 2] cycloaddition/annulation cascade of ortho-quinone methides with 2-isocyanatomalonate diesters has been reported.
Applicable cobalt-hydride-mediated selective, divergent hydroetherification, and sequential hydroetherification/hydroarylation of dienes with simple phenol feedstocks under a photoredox and cobalt catalytic system have been developed.
