Transition Metal Catalyzed Carbocycle-Selective Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Aromatic Rings
Asymmetric hydrogenation of carbon rings in(hetero)arenes is one of the most direct and efficient methods for preparing saturated and partially saturated chiral six membered carbon ring compounds.While significant challenges in terms of low reactivity and selectivity remain,some breakthroughs have been made in this field of carbocycle-selective asymmetric hydrogenation of(hetero)arenes in recent years.The research progress of transition metal catalyzed carbocycle-selective asymmetric hydrogenation of(hetero)arenes in the past few decades is summarized,and the prospects of further developments are also discussed.
