In this review, we summarize the origin and advancements of iridium-catalyzed asymmetric
allylic substitution reactions during the past two decades. Since the first report in 1997, Ir …

This review highlights a number of additives that can be used to make asymmetric reactions
perfect. Without changing other reaction conditions, simply adding additives can lead to …

Chiral monophosphorus ligands are playing an important role for the recent advances in
asymmetric catalysis. This review summarizes the latest progress in various asymmetric …

The first asymmetric regio‐and diastereodivergent γ‐allylation of cyclic α, β‐unsaturated
aldehydes based on combined organocatalysis and transition‐metal catalysis is disclosed …

Abstract The Tsuji–Trost reaction between carbonyl compounds and allylic precursors has
been widely used in the synthesis of natural products and pharmaceutical compounds. As …

Accomplishing high diastereo-and enantioselectivities simultaneously is a persistent
challenge in asymmetric catalysis. The use of two chiral catalysts in one-pot conditions might …

A catalytic, enantioselective γ-alkylation of α, β-unsaturated malonates and ketoesters is
reported. This strategy entails a highly regio-and enantioselective iridium-catalyzed α …

Direct aerobic α, β-dehydrogenation of γ, δ-unsaturated amides and acids using a simple
iridium/copper relay catalysis system is described. We developed a new strategy that …

Herein, an Ir‐catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution reaction of methyl azaarenes is
described. Azaarenes such as (benzo) thiazole, oxazole, benzoimidazole, pyridine, and …

An enantioselective iridium‐catalyzed allylic substitution with a set of highly unstabilized
nucleophiles generated in situ from 2‐methylpyridines is described. Enantioenriched 2 …
