Photoredox Activation and Anion Binding Catalysis in the Dual Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of β-Amino Esters

Giulia Bergonzini et al. Chem Sci. 2014 Jan.

Abstract

The enantioselective oxidative C-H functionalization of tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives is achieved through the merger of photoredox and asymmetric anion-binding catalysis. This combination of two distinct catalysis concepts introduces a potentially general approach to asymmetric transformations in oxidative photocatalysis.
