Asymmetric Claisen rearrangement

Abstract

Development of the asymmetric Claisen rearrangement is one of the challenging tasks in synthetic organic chemistry. There have been numerous reports of the asymmetric Claisen rearrangement based on the intramolecular chirality transfer using chiral substrates. On the other hand, reactions of achiral substrates with an external chiral activator have been studied during the last decade. In this review article, recent advances in the asymmetric Claisen rearrangement are described.
