Abstract
This review collects the major progress in the field of enantioselective transformations promoted by chiral yttrium catalysts, covering the literature since the beginning of 2007. It demonstrates that catalytic applications of these special catalysts have seen in the last decade significant progress to become an emerging component of asymmetric organic synthesis, in particular through its recent impressive diversification outcomes. Therefore, various types of highly efficient reactions have been recently developed through asymmetric yttrium catalysis, among them enantioselective hydroaminations, domino reactions, Michael additions, ring-opening reactions, epoxidations, Friedel−Crafts reactions, aldol reactions, and miscellaneous reactions.
