Planar-chiral compounds have found widespread application as chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysts, or as photosensitizer for functional materials. Recently, various research groups reported catalytic asymmetric synthesis of planar-chiral compounds. In this short review, the synthesis of various planar-chiral compounds by using metal catalysts are described in a comprehensive manner.
