Controlling the enantioselectivity in metallaphotoredox-catalysed radical cross-couplings using cobalt has proven challenging. Now, the identification of a chiral polydentate ligand enables cobalt-catalysed enantioselective couplings with a broad scope of radicals affording chiral heterobiaryl products.
