Abstract: This paper reviews the research progress and application prospects of chiral porphyrin-iron and-cobalt complexes in the field of asymmetric catalysis. Focusing on chiral side-chain modification strategies, the catalytic performance and mechanistic features of iron and cobalt porphyrin catalysts in key organic transformations such as epoxidation, cyclopropanation, and C-H amination are explored in depth. From the “chiral pocket” pioneered by Groves to the “picket fence” porphyrin developed by Collman, and further to modern sophisticated structural designs such as C2-symmetric and D4-symmetric architectures, the construction of chiral microenvironments has become increasingly refined. Catalytic reactions have evolved from the initial asymmetric epoxidation to encompass diverse types such as cyclopropanation, C–H amination, and aziridination, with continuously expanding substrate scope and steadily improving enantioselectivity. The content presented in this paper illustrates the developmental trajectory of chiral iron and cobalt metalloporphyrins from biomimetic simulation to functional innovation, providing a significant theoretical foundation and practical guidance for the design of a new generation of highly efficient and selective biomimetic catalysts. With the deepening understanding of the interaction mechanisms between metal center properties and chiral microenvironments, chiral metalloporphyrin catalysts are poised to play an increasingly vital role in areas such as asymmetric synthesis, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and green chemistry.
