The control of enantioselectivity in radical cation reactions presents long-standing challenges, despite a few successful examples. We introduce a novel strategy of asymmetric counteranion-directed electrocatalysis to address enantioselectivity in radical cation chemistry. This concept has been successfully demonstrated in two reactions: an asymmetric dehydrogenative indole-phenol [3+2] coupling and an atroposelective C-H/N-H dehydrogenative coupling.

A desymmetrizing silylation of aromatic diols is reported. The previously unknown asymmetric silyl ether formation of phenol derivatives is achieved by applying List's counteranion directed silylation technique. A silylium-ion-like silicon electrophile generated from an allylic silane paired with an imidodiphosphorimidate (IDPi) enables enantioselective discrimination of achiral 1,1'-biaryl-2,6-diols.

Photoredox catalysis enables distinctive and broadly applicable chemical reactions, but controlling their selectivity has proven to be difficult. The pursuit of enantioselectivity is a particularly daunting challenge, arguably because of the high energy of the activated radical (ion) intermediates, and previous approaches have invariably required pairing of the photoredox catalytic cycle with an additional activation mode for asymmetric induction. A potential solution for photoredox reactions proceeding via radical ions would be catalytic pairing with enantiopure counterions.

Satoh-Miura reaction is an important method for extending π-systems by forging multi-substituted benzene rings via double aryl C-H activation and annulation with alkynes. However, the development of highly enantioselective Satoh-Miura reaction remains rather challenging. Herein, we report an asymmetric Satoh-Miura reaction between 1-aryl benzo[h]isoquinolines and internal alkynes enabled by a SCpRh-catalyst.

A catalytic asymmetric methylene migration reaction of ene-aldimines directed by chiral counteranions is developed, with the optimal catalyst identified as phenanthryl-substituted ()-BINOL phosphate. Control experiments and density functional theory computations reveal the importance of the 2-hydroxy group of the ene-aldimine and attractive (e.g.
