Copper-catalyzed enantioselective coupling has been widely investigated, which allows rapid construction of various chiral molecules. Despite important advances polar and radical mechanisms, exploring general and practical strategies for the regio-, enantio- and diastereoselective assembly of stereogenic centers is of significant value but remains highly problematic. The integration of photocatalysis with asymmetric copper catalysis could provide appealing access to the development of new reaction pathways and structurally diverse chiral compounds, and extend the boundaries of radical chemistry. This review summarizes recent advances in photoinduced copper-catalyzed enantioselective coupling reactions, and discusses the mechanistic aspects.

Dual photoredox and copper-catalyzed remote asymmetric C(sp)-H alkylation of hydroxamic acid derivatives with glycine derivatives via a 1,5-hydrogen transfer (1,5-HAT) process has been realized. The reaction was characterized by redox-neutral and mild conditions, good yields, excellent enantioselectivity, and broad substrate scope. This protocol provides a straightforward and efficient strategy to prepare highly valuable enantioenriched noncanonical α-amino acids.

A three-component cascade boronation-dearomatization reaction of alkenes, a diboron compound, and a pyridinium salt is diclosed, affording chiral boron-containing 1,4-dihyropyridines in high yields (≤98%) and diastereoselectivity (≤10:1 dr), along with excellent enantioselectivity (typically >99% ee). The catalytic system performs efficiently at low catalyst loadings (1 mol %) and was tested with >50 examples, including some biologically active molecules.

Article Synopsis
- The catalytic asymmetric transformation of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes (DACs) is an important method for creating a variety of enantioenriched molecules, but using tetrasubstituted DACs to generate products with quaternary stereocenters has been a persistent challenge.
- This study introduces a copper-catalyzed asymmetric aminative ring-opening process for tetrasubstituted alkynyl DACs that successfully produces a wide range of α-tertiary amines with high enantioselectivity.
- The resulting products, which contain alkyne, amine, and ester groups, open up new possibilities for synthesizing bioactive molecules, with mechanism studies highlighting the significance of a zwitter
