Graphical Abstract

Dual role for catalysts: Novel routes for the generation of asymmetric stereocenters using photoredox catalysis were recently developed. Different chiral catalytic systems allowed new CC bonds to form in good yields and enantioselectivities using a mild methodology in which light is used as the energy source.
