By utilizing Hantzsch esters as the hydrogen source, asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of CC, CN, and CO is realized in the presence of an organocatalyst or a metal–ligand complex, thus affording versatile chiral building blocks in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities under mild conditions. A detailed discussion of recent findings and an assessment of this biomimetic approach are presented in this review.
