Asymmetric synthesis is pivotal in modern-day organic synthesis in which metal-catalyzed protocols with compatible ligands play a key role. Many metal-chiral ligand combinations have been extensively reported in which "pybox" as the chiral ligand has occupied an indisputable place owing to its widespread use. This review focuses on the reactions of various metal-pybox combinations for the creation of asymmetric carbon centres by carbon-heteroatom bond manipulations. For brevity and simplicity, these reactions are classified based on the metal used and the literature from 2006-2018 is covered. Scheme 1. Stereoselective allylic oxidation of cyclic olefins using Cu-pybox catalyst. . Cu-Pybox catalyzed propargylic amination of propargylic acetates by aryl amines. lane was used in combination with L 18 (5 mol%) at low temperature (4°C).Use of various alkyl aryl ketones afforded the corresponding products with high ee value. For ketones with substituents at the meta-position of the aromatic ring, EWG's were found to result in higher yield than EDG's. In the case of parasubstituents, EWGs did not have much influence on the ee value. Again para-methoxyacetophenone was found to result in the formation of racemic alcohol. For ortho-substituents, the ee was found to reduce due to steric reasons. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
