The strategy of embedding coordinative functional group into the starting material
is frequently employed to enhance reactivity and enantioselectivity in various asymmetric
catalytic reactions other than enantioselective hydrocarbonylation. Recent progress
in palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrocarbonylation with this strategy for the synthesis
of chiral heterocycles was highlighted. The merits of the innate coordinative functional
group not only enhance the reactivity and boost the multiple selectivity, but also
facilitates the synthesis of chiral heterocycles.
