These properties are highly advantageous for assembling lanthanum will be included as lanthanides in this review for various chiral ligands around the metals, allowing the construction brevity) in asymmetric catalysis was first reported by Danishefsky of structurally sophisticated complexes to be achieved with an inte- et al. in 1983 who obtained moderate enantioselectivities of up to grated chiral space in which the stereochemistry of the reaction may Scheme 1.

The goal of this review is to collect the much influence on the enantioselectivity of the reaction (80–86% major developments in all types of enantioselective lanthanide- ee for products 4j–o). The results indicated the preference of catalyzed transformations published since the beginning of 2012, dimethyl malonate 2a to attack from the Si face of the double bond since this field was most recently reviewed by Mori and Kobayashi of the unsaturated imine 3.
