The synergistic merger of photoredox catalysis with first-row transition metal catalysis has enabled a powerful development for sustainable asymmetric synthesis. Among these, the combination of photoredox catalysts with chromium complexes—an abundant metal with rich one- and two-electron redox chemistry—has unlocked novel reactivity manifolds and stereocontrol strategies. Rrecent advances in enantioselective transformations enabled by synergistic photocatalytic/chromium catalysis are examined. The unique catalyst roles, synergistic mechanisms, and activation modes are analyzed, with key transformations covered including enantioselective radical addition, C—H functionalization, cross-coupling, and multicomponent reactions. Allylic, propargylic and alkylic radical involved transformations enabled by the dual photoredox/chromium catalysis are discussed respectively. The development of this field is summarized, with emphasis on strategies aimed at expanding the substrate scope and establishing novel synthetic routes toward structurally diverse compounds. The review concludes with a highlight of current challenges and future opportunities for this rapidly developing field, emphasizing its potential for more sustainable pharmaceutical and agrochemical manufacturing.
