1-diaryl alkanes, which are a key skeleton in a series of natural products and bioactive
molecules in recent years. Here we report an enantioselective benzylic C (sp3)− H bond
arylation via photoredox/nickel dual catalysis. Sterically hindered chiral biimidazoline
ligands are designed for this asymmetric cross-coupling reaction. Readily available alkyl
benzenes and aryl bromides with various functional groups tolerance can be easily and …
