Abstract

AbstractAsymmetric catalysis is one of the most important areas of organic synthetic chemistry. In recent years, with the revival of organic electrochemistry, scientists have begun to try to combine asymmetric catalysis with electrochemistry to build valuable chiral molecules. In this review, we focus on examples of organic electrochemistry catalyzed by transition metals. According to the classification of the interaction of the catalyst with the substrate, we can divide them into two categories: (1) transition metal catalysts as chiral Lewis acids; (2) transition metal catalysts that construct chiral molecules by interacting with substrates through oxidative addition/reductive elimination.1 Introduction2 Electrochemical Asymmetric Lewis Acid Catalysis3 Electrochemical Asymmetric Transition Metal Catalysis4 Conclusion
