Tremendous efforts have been directed to develop synthetic methodologies for the synthesis of furofurans, especially in a stereoselective manner, due to their interesting bioactivities associated with the structural and stereochemical complexity. This article summarizes the reports on asymmetric synthesis of furofurans disclosed during the period of 2004–2017.Mahidol UniversityBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular BiologyChemistryReviewSCOPUS10.1016/j.tetlet.2017.11.011
