Catalytic Enantioselective Desymmetrization Reactions to All-Carbon Quaternary Stereocenters

Xing-Ping Zeng et al. Chem Rev. .

Abstract

This Review summarizes the advances in the construction of all-carbon quaternary stereocenters via catalytic enantioselective desymmetrization of prochiral and meso-compounds, highlights the power and potential of this strategy in the total synthesis of natural products and biologically active compounds, and outlines the synthetic opportunities still available.
