Chiral chromene structures are crucial components of numerous natural products and biologically active molecules. As a type of chromene, 2H-chromene is also an important representative of oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds. It not only widely exists in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and bio-related molecules, but also has extensive applications in materials science and organic synthesis. Among them, chiral 2-aryl-2H-chromene derivatives not only exhibit broad pharmacological activities, but also serve as key intermediates for the synthesis of many active natural products, thus holding significant research value in fields such as medicinal chemistry and synthetic chemistry. The enantiomers of chiral compounds or chiral drugs often exhibit distinct physiological activities in living organisms. Since “The Thalidomide Tragedy”, the growing emphasis on chiral synthesis in organic chemistry has been paralleled by the pharmaceutical industry’s adoption of high optical purity as a key benchmark for drug quality and therapeutic performance. Therefore, the research on chiral drugs is of great significance, and meanwhile, the synthesis of chiral compounds has also attracted considerable attention from synthetic researchers. The research progress in the chiral synthesis of 2-aryl-2H-chromene compounds in recent years is summarized, mainly introducing three chiral synthesis methods for such chiral compounds, namely chemical resolution, kinetic resolution, and asymmetric catalysis involving chiral metal complexes or small organic molecules. Additionally, the future development of this field is prospected.
