energy source and nontoxic, affordable materials as catalysts represents one of the new and
rapidly evolving areas in chemical research. The direct asymmetric α‐alkylation of
aldehydes with α‐bromocarbonyl compounds can be successfully achieved by combining
bismuth‐based materials as low‐band‐gap photocatalysts with the second‐generation
MacMillan imidazolidinone as the chiral catalyst and simulated sunlight as a low‐cost and …
