Abstract

Graphical abstract: Abstract: In this digest, we report the recent advances in asymmetric isomerization of allylic alcohols. We present the different aspects of this asymmetric transformation that include the diastereo-, and enantioselective isomerizations and the kinetic resolution. In addition, we described also our contribution involving fluorinated enantiopure allylic alcohol with achiral catalyst by the enantiospecific approach. Finally, the description of tandem reactions involving such an asymmetric isomerization of allylic alcohols is presented as a perspective.
