Reductive desymmetrization of achiral or meso diketones has attracted considerable attention due to these motifs which play important roles in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals and functional materials. This review focuses on recent advances in homogeneous reductive desymmetrization of 1,2‐, 1,3‐ and 1,4‐diketones, which provides an efficient and practical access to structurally diverse chiral α‐, β‐ or γ‐hydroxy ketone derivatives.

二酮还原脱对称化的最新进展

由于这些基序在有机合成，药物和功能材料中起着重要的作用，因此非手性或内消旋二酮的还原性脱对称引起了相当大的关注。这篇综述着重于1,2-，1,3-和1,4-二酮的均相还原性脱对称化的最新进展，这为结构多样化的手性α-，β-或γ-羟基酮衍生物提供了有效而实用的途径。
