摘要
Chiral seven-membered ring systems such as seven-membered carbocycles and heterocycles are widely found in natural products and pharmaceuticals.Therefore,the catalytic enantioselective construction of such frameworks has evoked considerable interest in the field of chemistry.Among the various approaches,organocatalytic asymmetric(4+3)cycloadditions are highly effective for the enantioselective construction of seven-membered rings.Over the past two decades,substantial efforts have been devoted to this field and chemists have developed various organocatalytic asymmetric(4+3)cycloadditions.This review summarizes the progress in organocatalytic asymmetric(4+3)cycloadditions from 2003 to early 2022 and provides insights into challenging issues faced in this research field,enabling the future development of this field.
