Metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions enabled by organic peroxides

Abstract

As a class of multifunctional reagents, organic peroxides play vital roles in the chemical industry, pharmaceutical synthesis and polymerization reactions. Metal-catalyzed asymmetric catalysis has emerged as one of the most straightforward and efficient strategies to construct enantioenriched molecules, and an increasing number of metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions enabled by organic peroxides have been disclosed by researchers in recent years. Despite remarkable progress, the types of asymmetric reactions facilitated by organic peroxides remain limited and the catalysis systems need to be further broadened. To the best of our knowledge, there is still no review devoted to summarizing the reactions from this perspective. In this review, we will endeavor to highlight the advances in metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions enabled by organic peroxides. We hope that this survey will summarize the functions of organic peroxides in catalytic reactions, improve the understanding of these compounds and inspire future developments in this area.
