Enantioselective organocatalytic asymmetric Diels–
Alder reactions provide a facile and efficient route to optically active
functionalized cyclohexenes, which can be further transformed
into a variety of important organic compounds. A variety of small
organic molecules such as prolines, imidazolidinones, chiral
Brønsted acids, guanidines, carbenes and Cinchona alkaloids can be
used as different catalyst systems to induce enantioselectivity in the
reaction. This review provides an overview of the history of the
asymmetric organocatalyzed Diels–Alder reaction
