The enantioselective photoredox reaction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and tertiary/secondary α-silylamines was enabled by a readily available single Ni<sup>II</sup>-DBFOX catalyst (DBFOX = 4,6-bis((<i>R</i>)-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl)dibenzo[<i>b</i>,<i>d</i>]furan) under visible light conditions. The non-precious chiral catalyst is involved in the photochemical process to initiate single electron transfer and at the same time provides a well-organized chiral environment for the s ...[more]
