Oxidative carbene organocatalysis has been developed as a versatile synthetic method, but has been paired with electroredox chemistry in only limited examples. Herein, enantioenriched heterocycles are synthesized from racemic substrates via an iodide-promoted NHC organocatalysis system that is powered by electroredox chemistry.
