英文摘要：

Chiral aryl vicinal diols with special functional group are potentially valuable synthetic intermediates for the preparation of pharmaceuticals,agrochemicals and pheromones.In recent years,the synthesis and application of chiral aryl vicinal diols have attracted intensive attention of chemists.Recent progress in asymmetric synthesis of chiral aryl vicinal diols is reviewed in both biocatalytic and chemocatalytic perspectives.The effects of some factors,including the electronic effects and steric factors of substituted groups,the species of chiral catalysts and the different reaction media,on the yields and optical activity of chiral aryl vicinal diols are summarized.The trends in the asymmetric synthesis of chiral aryl vicinal diols are prospected.
