Xiao-Yang Dong et al.

Summary: This article mainly introduces the research progress on enantioconvergent radical cross-coupling reactions. Compared with chiral nickel catalysts, the study of copper-catalyzed enantioconvergent radical cross-coupling is less explored, primarily due to the weak reducing capability of copper. In recent years, researchers have been dedicated to developing chiral ligands for copper-catalyzed enantioconvergent radical cross-coupling to address the issues of enantiocontrol and reaction initiation speed.
