Chiral spirocyclic phosphoric acids (SPAs) are introduced in 2010 and have been versatile catalysts capable of promoting a wide range of asymmetric organocatalytic reactions,such as multi-component reactions,Friedel-Crafts reactions,Pictet-Spengler reactions,Fisch-er indolizations,cycloaddition reactions,desymmetrization reac-tions,dearomatization reactions,conjugate addition reactions and rearrangement reactions,etc.Moreover,a diverse range of applica-tions in metal-organic cooperative catalysis,organic photoredox catalysis,total synthesis,materials science and molecular recogni-tion are beautifully illustrated.This account summarizes the past decade's advances in this field and highlights the selected but not comprehensive significant achievements.
