过渡金属参与的不对称催化反应是有机合成化学研究的前沿和热点. 寻找和发现新颖配体骨架并开展新型高效的手性配体及催化剂的设计合成是不对称催化反应研究的核心内容. 从20世纪90年代,特别是进入21世纪以来,螺环骨架手性配体受到了广泛的关注,并逐渐发展成为特色鲜明的手性配体类别. 手性螺环配体的骨架已由多手性的螺[4.4]壬烷骨架发展到只具有单一手性的螺二氢茚和螺[4.4]壬二烯等螺环骨架类型,形成了包括手性螺环单磷配体、双膦配体、膦氮配体、双氮配体等丰富的手性配体库. 这些手性螺环配体及其催化剂不仅在不对称催化氢化、不对称碳―碳键形成、不对称碳―杂原子键形成等多种类型的不对称催化反应中均表现出优异的催化活性和对映选择性,且使得许多原先难以控制对映选择性的不对称催化反应变得可能. 而今,手性螺环结构已成为“优势结构”,相应的手性螺环配体及其催化剂已被国内外同行广泛采用. 手性螺环配体的兴起为手性催化剂研究增加了活力,极大地促进了不对称合成化学的发展. 今后,手性螺环配体的研究除了将向新型、高效、高选择性手性配体及催化剂方向发展外,将其应用于新的不对称催化反应的对映选择性控制、以及应用于手性天然产物和药物的高效不对称合成将成为新的研究热点.

Transition metal catalyzed asymmetric reaction is a hot issue and a frontier of the research in current organic chemistry. The design and synthesis of new type of efficient chiral ligands and chiral catalysts, esspecially those with novel skeleton is the focus of research in asymmetric catalysis. Since 1990's, chiral ligands based on spiro skeletons have received increasing attention and gradually developed into a new type of chiral ligands with distinctive characteristics. The skeletons of the chiral spiro ligands developed from spiro[4.4]nonane with three chiral stereocenters to spirobiindane and spiro[4.4]nonadiene with only one axial chirality, as well as other types of spiro skeletons. Nowadays, the library of chiral spiro ligands contains a wide range of chiral spiro ligands with different skeletons, including chiral spiro monophosphorus ligands, diphosphine ligands, phosphine-nitrogen ligands, dinitrogen ligands, and etc. Many of these chiral spiro ligands and related catalysts not only have shown high catalytic activity and high enantioselectivity for various asymmetric reactions such as asymmetric hydrogenations, asymmetric carbon-carbon bond forming reactions, and asymmetric carbon-heteroatom bond forming reactions, but also have made the enantiocontrol of many catalytic asymmetric reactions, which are difficult in obtaining high enantioselectivities, more easily and possible. The chiral spiro skeleton has become a ‘privileged structure’, and chiral spiro ligands and catalysts have been used in the syntheses of different type of chiral compounds including chiral natural products and chiral drugs. The emergence of chiral spiro ligands increased the dynamism of research on finding new chiral ligands and catalysts, and promoted asymmetric synthesis chemistry. Henceforth, the focus of study in chiral spiro ligands will continue to be the development of new chiral spiro ligands and catalysts with high activity and high enantioselectivity. At the same time, the applications of chiral spiro ligands in the new catalytic asymmetric reactions, and in the asymmetric synthesis of bioactive chiral compounds, chiral natural products and chiral drugs will become a new focus of research.
