This work describes the design of chiral iron(III) photoredox catalysis for asymmetric radical cation reactions. The newly developed catalysis successfully minimizes the use of chiral sources and exhibits high tunability, thereby enabling a highly enantioselective (4 + 2) cycloaddition of chalcone d...
