Catalytic technology holds irreplaceable significance in modern science and industry, and has played a crucial role in biomedicine, green chemistry, and other fields. Macrocycles, with their unique ability for molecular recognition and the formation of inclusion complexes through non-covalent interactions, exhibit highly efficient catalytic performance. Among them, chiral macrocycles, leveraging their chiral characteristics, can achieve efficient chiral induction and selective recognition. Their internal cavities can accommodate substrates for pre-organized arrangement, thereby facilitating efficient chemical transformations. Therefore, chiral macrocycles serve as an ideal platform for supramolecular catalytic systems, demonstrating excellent catalytic activity and selectivity in asymmetric catalysis. This review summarizes the research progress and applications of chiral macrocycles, such as chiral crown ethers, chiral cyclodextrins, chiral calixarenes, and chiral pillararenes, in asymmetric catalysis in recent years, and is expected to provide references for the study of supramolecular asymmetric catalysis.

Key words: host-guest chemistry, chiral macrocyclic compounds, supramolecular catalysis, asymmetric synthesis
