C—H bond activation has emerged as a powerful and sustainable strategy for organic synthesis, as it avoids substrate pre-functionalization and offers simplicity, efficiency, and environmental friendliness. Compared with noble metals such as palladium, rhodium and iridium, ruthenium catalysts are more cost-effective, stable, and readily accessible, thus holding great potential for C—H activation reactions. Ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric C—H functionalization provides a versatile route to structurally diverse chiral molecules. The progress of asymmetric C(sp2)—H bond functionalization in recent years is dicussed by categorizing asymmetric induction approaches. The reaction scope, functional group tolerance, reaction mechanisms, and limitations of these methods are summarized. The future outlook and existing challenges are also provided.
