Ion-Pairing Catalysis in Stereoselective, Light-Induced Transformations

J Am Chem Soc. 2022 Oct 26;144(42):19207-19218. doi: 10.1021/jacs.2c04759. Epub 2022 Oct 14.

Abstract

With the rapid development of photoredox catalysis, numerous concepts for asymmetric induction were successfully and broadly adapted from polar two-electron transformations to radical chemistry. While this applies to organocatalysis or transition metal chemistry, asymmetric ion-pairing catalysis remains a niche application within light-driven reactions today. This perspective gives an overview of recent examples, strategies, and their application in stereoselective transformations at the interface of ion-pairing and photo(redox) catalysis.
