This initial hit with PCI (entry 4) shows evidence of achieving chirality with our novel catalyst in reactions operating by a photoredox mechanism and we are optimistic that better enantioselectivity could be achieved by optimizing the reaction conditions for this specific catalyst. a Entries and values from the publication of the Xiao group Reactions were run overnight at room temperature c H NMR analysis with 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene as the internal standard d Enantiomeric excess was determined by chiral HPLC e not determined f Diastereomeric ratios determined by 1 H NMR analysis g Due to low conversion and formation of undesired and unidentifiable products, we were unable to define a d.r. greater than 10:1 with high levels of confidence
