Abstract:

In recent years, the cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction has received widespread attention in the field of organic synthetic chemistry. This strategy avoids the pre-functionalization of substrates in the reactions that form carbon–carbon bonds. It demonstrates high atomic economy and aligns with the development requirements of green chemistry. Furthermore, asymmetric CDC reactions can realize stereoselective construction of carbon–carbon bonds, which currently constitutes a key area of research in organic synthesis. This paper reviews the research progress in asymmetric CDC reactions and provides a perspective on the future development direction in this field.
