Abstract
The fluorine atoms or fluorine-containing groups are widely found in biologically molecules in the fields of materials science, pharmaceutical chemistry, etc.The properties of trifluoroethylketimines provide both electrophilic and nucleophilic centers, and become an excellent 1,3-dipole, which possessed high research value in catalytic asymmetric reactions of construction of trifluoromethyl stereocenters.Based on the substrates and reaction types of trifluoroethylketimine, the research progress of catalytic asymmetric reactions involving trifluoroethylketimine in recent five years is reviewed, and the future development of this field is prospected.
