Recent Advances in Catalytic Enantioselective Rearrangement

Abstract

Among the fundamental chemical transformations in organic synthesis, rearrangement has been recognized as powerful and reliable reactions for the construction of carbon–carbon or carbon–heteroatom bonds. Benefiting from the advance of the novel catalytic system, catalyst design and activation mode, the chemistry of enantioselective rearrangements has experienced ever‐growing development recently and has been successfully used in the synthesis of chiral non‐racemic building blocks, natural products, and other valuable compounds. We present herein a survey of the recent development on the catalytic enantioselective rearrangement (from 2013 onward) organized according to the rearrangement type.
