Catalytic aerobic dehydrogenation of organic substrates is going through a Renaissance. Recent advances in this area have led to the discovery of palladium-catalyzed alcohol dehydrogenations and oxidative hetero- and carbocyclizations. The development of asymmetric catalytic dehydrogenations is the latest advance in a long line of catalytic asymmetric oxidation reactions.
