Asymmetric Catalytic Carbon-Carbon Coupling Reactions via Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling Reactions

Abstract

Asymmetric catalytic C—C coupling reactions via cross-dehydrogenative coupling are currently among the most attractive and powerful tools in synthetic organic chemistry. In the past few decades, a variety of catalytic asymmetric C—C coupling reactions via cross-dehydrogenative coupling have been reported. Compared with traditional asymmetric C—C bond formation reactions, cross-dehydrogenative coupling strategies have more advantages in terms of power and cost- effective- ness. In this review, the recent studies on enantioselective cross dehydrogenative-coupling are reviewed. Keywords asymmetric catalysis; cross-dehydrogenative coupling; C—H activation
