Key Points

To summarize recent developments in enantioselective desymmetrization reactions driven by chiral phosphoric acid catalysis, including single and cooperative catalytic modes.
Synthesized recent literature on chiral phosphoric acid (CPA)-catalyzed enantioselective desymmetrization reactions.
Evaluated catalytic mechanisms across standalone CPA organocatalysis and cooperative dual-catalyst systems.
Chiral phosphoric acids efficiently transform symmetrical achiral starting materials into highly enantioenriched architectures across diverse reaction classes.
Cooperative catalytic systems incorporating CPAs expand the accessible reaction manifold, enabling stereoselective transformations otherwise challenging with single catalysts.
