Key words
photoredox catalysis - aminocatalysis - ketoreductase - dynamic kinetic resolution - alcohols - stereoconvergent synthesis
Significance
The Hyster and MacMillan groups used photoredox catalysis to induce dynamic stereocontrol at normally static stereogenic centers and, in conjunction with a ketoreductase, yield γ-substituted alcohols in nearly enantiopure form.

Comment
Given the range of chemical space that is open to photo-/organocatalytic processes, paired with the unparalleled selectivity of enzymes, this novel platform will undoubtedly open new pathways for stereoconvergent syntheses.
