Vicinal dicarbofunctionalization (DCF) reactions of alkenes have been extensively explored in ionic chemistry but the enantioselective radical mediated version of DCF remains largely unexplored. Here, the authors demonstrate a radical vicinal DCF reaction of olefins by merging of radical addition and cross-coupling using photoredox and copper dual catalysis.
