Rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric arylation reactions provide one of the most straightforward and powerful ways to introduce aryl fragments in an enantioselective manner. In principle, any reaction that involves Rh-catalyzed asymmetric addition of an aryl group to a double or triple bond is called “Rh-catalyzed asymmetric arylation” (RCAA). Due to because special reactivity and selectivity of rhodium complexes compared to other catalytic systems, significant attention has been paid to the use of rhodium catalysts in the formation of C−C bonds. In this kind of reactions, highly efficient asymmetric catalysis has been achieved by employing a chiral ligand. [1-3]
