The recent developments in asymmetric organotransition metal-catalyzed electrochemistry (AOMCE) are summarized. AOMCE processes can be divided into oxidative and reductive variants. In terms of oxidations, asymmetric functionalization of olefins, oxidative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols or aldehydes, and asymmetric C—H functionalization reactions have been developed. Reductive processes discussed include asymmetric electrochemical carboxylation with carbon dioxide, asymmetric electrochemical decarboxylation, and asymmetric reductive coupling reactions. The combination of chiral ligands, transition-metal catalysts, and electrochemistry provides a novel angle by which to address the longstanding fundamental challenge of stereoinduction in traditional electrochemical organic synthesis.

Key words: asymmetric organotransition metal-catalyzed electrochemistry, electrochemical organic synthesis, asymmetric catalysis
