Transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric cyclization reactions of 1,3-dienes represent a powerful strategy for the construction of chiral cyclic compounds, with broad applications in the synthesis of natural products, pharmaceuticals, and functional materials. The recent advances in this field are systematically reviewed, focusing on two major cyclization modes: 1,2- and 1,4-cyclication. Detailed discussions are provided, including Heck reactions, C—H bond activation, Wacker-type oxidations, and π-Lewis base catalysis. These methods enable efficient and highly enantioselective construction of various ring systems ranging from five to eight membered cycles, demonstrating good functional group compatibility and substrate diversity. Despite considerable advances, several challenges still persist, including ambiguous reaction mechanisms, narrow substrate scope, and poor stereocontrol. Future developments should focus on in-depth mechanistic elucidation, the design of economical metal catalysts, and the expansion of substrate generality to enhance the utility of these transformations.
Key words: transition metal; 1,3-diene; asymmetric cyclization
