The regioselective and stereoselective vicinal difunctionalization of alkenes with amino and halogen groups can be efficiently achieved through catalytic halogenation methods. Stereoselective haloamination reactions have emerged as an important strategy for introducing halogen functionalities into chiral amines, finding widespread applications in pharmaceutical chemistry and organic synthesis. Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in this field, driven by innovations in catalytic systems and methodologies. The stereoselective haloamination of both functionalized and non-functionalized alkenes using chiral catalysts has become a prominent area of research. This review provides a compre- hensive overview of the major advances in stereoselective haloamination achieved in recent decades. It explores innovations in catalyst design that have facilitated more efficient and selective transformations. The optimization of reaction conditions is also analyzed, as it plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall performance and applicability of these reactions. Furthermore, the review offers perspectives on the future of stereoselective haloamination.
