Tetrahedron Chem, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 1, С. 100009 - 100009

Опубликована: Март 1, 2022

Axial chirality is historically epitomized by biaryl compounds containing rotationally impeded aryl-aryl linkage. As the field of atroposelective catalysis advances, synthesis and application less common scaffolds such as alkenes have now come to fore. The manifestation axial in aryl was hypothesized 1928 first resolution achieved nearly a decade later. However, catalytic asymmetric construction axially chiral open-chain appeared only 2017 which ushered renewed focus on these structures. In principle, possess an alkene group tethered at one end stereogenic axis, greatly reduces overall rigidity. To date, atropisomers with C (vinyl)-C (aryl) (vinyl)-heteroatom bond been reported. Considering rapid growth synthetic utility alkenes, this review intends provide historical overview discusses new developments. It hope that timely discussion would motivate continued nascent field.
