Ferrocene as a Privileged Framework for Chiral Organocatalysts

Abstract Ferrocene (Fc) as a privileged framework for chiral organocatalysts (Orgcat) has been developed rapidly in recent years. Herein, five categories have been summarized, including Fc‐based nucleophilic, bifunctional, Brønsted acid, hydrogen‐bonding organocatalysts and Fc‐based frustrated Lewis pairs. Their applications in enantioselective transformations were also highlighted and discussed in this Minireview.
