Cooperative Photoredox and Chiral Brønsted Acid Catalysis Permits Asymmetric [2π+2σ] Cycloaddition

Key words
asymmetric photoredox catalysis - Brønsted acid catalysis - [2π+2σ] cycloaddition - bicyclobutanes
Significance
Wang, Lv, Jiang, and co-workers disclosed an asymmetric photoredox and Brønsted acid-catalyzed [2π+2σ] cycloaddition of bicyclobutanes and vinyl azaarenes. The chiral cycloadducts are furnished in mostly moderate to very good yields with good to excellent enantioselctivity.

Comment
Introducing 10-phenylanthracen-9-yl substituents into the chiral phosphoric acid transforms the catalyst into a bifunctional entity, both capable of providing a chiral environment and serving as a photosensitizer for the cycloaddition. We highly anticipate an experimental validation of the proposed water-assisted radical addition step.
