Abstract

Transition metal catalyzed coupling reactions of aryl halides with nucleophiles are valuable methods for the formation of aryl carbon–carbon or aryl carbon–heteroatom bonds. However, little attention has been focused on the asymmetric versions of such couplings. Besides direct coupling for the formation of axial chirality, asymmetric desymmetrization and kinetic resolution are two important strategies for achieving enantioselectivity in transition metal catalyzed aryl carbon–heteroatom couplings. This account summarizes recent progress made in our group on copper- or palladium-catalyzed asymmetric aryl carbon–nitrogen/oxygen coupling reactions using asymmetric desymmetrization or kinetic resolution strategies.
