Abstract
Several strategies for the enantioselective synthesis of small cyclic alkanes from achiral building blocks are known, but general and sustainable methods still represent a daunting challenge. Now, the cooperation of asymmetric counterion-directed catalysis with photoredox activation complements metalloorganic and enzymatic methods for the synthesis of chiral cyclopropanes.
