description Summary: β,γ-Unsaturated α-ketoesters prove to be versatile organic synthons participating in diverse catalytic asymmetric transformations with the breathtaking development of organo-catalysis, new catalytic systems including ingenious chiral ligands as well as Lewis acid cations. The highly efficient creation of stereogenic centers with excellent enantioselectivity is not a surprise, but owes to the bidentate coordination of its unique 1,2-dicarbonyl motif to artful chiral messenger, establishing a rigid system for the precise chiral-identification of the attack. In the past five years, various reaction modes of β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters have been developed, involving their multiple reaction sites, such as the carbon-carbon double bond (C=C), the carbonyl group (C=O), the entire C=C-C=O fragment, and the ester group. In this review, we summarize the state-of-the-art catalytic asymmetric reactions of β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters, to provide an updated overview to chemists working in this and related fields, facilitating their discoveries in asymmetric catalysis, natural products synthesis, and drug development.
