Abstract

The catalytic enantioselective assembly of spirocyclic molecules featuring a spiro quaternary carbon stereocenter is currently of great interest because such privileged 3D structures are widely present in natural products that exhibit a broad spectrum of biological and pharmacological activities. This review summarizes the advances based on six major synthetic strategies and showcases the reaction mechanisms in detail. The advantages and limitations of each synthetic strategy are presented, and the remaining synthetic opportunities are outlined.
