Abstract
Asymmetric functionalization of amines and their derivatives is of great significance in synthetic chemistry and is widely used in the preparation of natural products and pharmaceuticals. In recent years, chiral aldehyde catalysis has emerged as a well-established and recognized tool, providing excellent catalytic activation and stereoselective control in asymmetric reactions of N-unprotected amino acid esters and amino acid ester analogues. In this short review, recent advances in enantioselective aldehyde catalysis, including chiral aldehydes as organocatalysts and co-catalysis combined with transition metals, will be summarized. Lastly, continued development of enantioselective aldehyde catalysis is prospected in the future.
