Herein, we report a general iminium ion-based catalytic method for the enantioselective conjugate addition of carbon-centered radicals to aliphatic and aromatic enals. The process uses an organic photoredox catalyst, which absorbs blue light to generate radicals from stable precursors, in combination with a chiral amine catalyst, which secures a consistently high level of stereoselectivity. The generality of this catalytic platform is demonstrated by the stereoselective interception of a wide variety of radicals, including non-stabilized primary ones which are generally difficult to engage in asymmetric processes. The system also served to develop organocatalytic cascade reactions that combine an iminium-ion-based radical trap with an enamine-mediated step, affording stereochemically dense chiral products in one-step.

The direct introduction of sp3 carbon fragments at the β position of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes is greatly complicated by competing 1,2-addition manifolds. Previous catalytic enantioselective conjugate addition methods, based on the use of organometallic reagents or ground-state iminium ion activation, could not provide general and efficient solutions. We report herein that, by turning them into strong oxidants, visible light excitation of chiral iminium ions triggers a stereocontrolled radical pathway that exclusively affords highly enantioenriched β-substituted aldehydes bearing a variety of alkyl fragments.

Efficient isomerization: The title reaction was catalyzed by the [RuCl 2{(S)-tol-binap}{(R)-dbapen}]/KOH system in ethanol at 25°C (see scheme). A series of E- and Z-configured aromatic and aliphatic allylic alcohols, including a simple primary alkyl-substituted compound (E)-3-methyl-2-hepten-1-ol, were transformed into the chiral aldehydes with at least 99 % ee. dbapen=2-dibutylamino-1-phenylethylamine, tol-binap=2,2′- bis(di-4-tolylphosphanyl)-1,1′-binaphthyl.
