Recent Advances of Catalytic Enantioselective Heck Reactions and <scp>Reductive‐Heck</scp> Reactions

Abstract

Abstract Heck reaction is one of the most important carbon‐carbon bond forming reactions with wide applications in organic synthesis. Considerable advances of enantioselective Heck reaction have been achieved in the past decades. This review focuses on recent development of catalytic asymmetric Heck reaction and reductive Heck reaction, which covers intermolecular and intramolecular versions since 2011. The article is organized in terms of the catalysts and olefin substrates.
