Abstract

Chiral bifunctional (thio)ureas, which are made up of (thio)urea group, nucleophilic activation group and auxiliary, have attracted widespread attention in asymmetric organocatalysis research nowadays because of their easy control structure and excellent catalytic performance. The introduction of the activation group, which can greatly influence the catalytic performance of the catalyst, has become an important and concern research field for the catalyst design, while the introduction of suitable auxiliary can also be used to control and optimize catalytic performance, and become an important supplementary method. However, up to now, there is no systematical review exclusively on utilization of auxiliary strategy for the construction of chiral bifunctional (thio)ureas. In this paper, the research progress of the construction of chiral bifunctional (thio)ureas based on tunable achiral and chiral auxiliaries in recent years is reviewed. These catalysts can be successfully applied in a diverse variety of highly enantioselective transformations providing a wide range of versatile organic compounds. The influence of several factors in the auxiliaries, such as steric hindrance, chiral environment, electronic effect and hydrogen bond donor, on the catalytic performance is described. Besides, an outlook for future development of auxiliaries to construct bifunctional (thio)ureas is given.
