Abstract

Summary Catalytic asymmetric dearomatization (CADA) reactions refer to those reactions converting aromatic compounds into enantio-enriched three-dimensional cyclic molecules in a catalytic fashion. In the past, this area has seen significant progress since a series of valuable strategies for asymmetric catalysis were successfully applied. In this review, we provide insightful discussions on recent representative examples of asymmetric dearomatization reactions catalyzed by transition-metal complexes. Close attention is paid to the mechanism, scope, limitations, and the future direction of CADA reactions.
