Title: Illuminating enantioselective alkyl−alkyl coupling

Authors: Weisai Zu, Xinlong Luo & Haohua Huo*

Abstract: The catalytic enantioselective formation of alkyl−alkyl bonds from simple feedstock chemicals remains a formidable challenge in organic synthesis. Now, an enantioconvergent approach that couples styrenyl aziridines with unactivated olefins using a chiral nickel catalyst and visible light has been developed.
