Light in aminocatalysis: the asymmetric intermolecular alpha-alkylation of aldehydes.

Following the light: Photoredox catalysis along with aminocatalysis have proved to be the right combination for one of the most challenging asymmetric transformation in organic synthesis: the direct intermolecular alpha-alkylation of aldehydes.
