Catalytic Enantioselective Alkylations with Allylic Alcohols

Allylic alcohols have recently risen to prominence as a valuable synthetic alternative to classic activated alkylating agents asymmetric catalysis. The intrinsic drawbacks that limited their in catalytic enantioselective transformations, until recently, have been efficiently addressed providing elegant solutions. short review intends to summarize the most salient and recent in this emerging research area, highlighting the scope and of the most selective catalytic methodologies.
