Abstract

3d transition metal (TM)-catalyzed asymmetric CH activation has developed as an efficacious and powerful strategy for direct synthesis of chiral organic molecules. In recent years, electrooxidative and photoredox approaches have been coupled with 3d TM-catalyzed asymmetric CH activation to fully realize the sustainable potential of this protocol. Herein, we highlight the comprehensive account of recent advancements within the realm of asymmetric CH activation, focusing on sustainability with special emphasis on 3d metal catalysts and the strategies that incorporate electrooxidative and photoredox approaches. This review also aims to foster a greater understanding of fundamental catalytic processes in sustainable metallaelectro and photoredox strategies for the synthesis of enantiopure scaffolds.
