Electrochemistry and photochemistry as alternative sustainable tools for asymmetric aminocatalysis

The aim of this thesis is to expand the plethora of catalytic radical asymmetric transformations.Specifically, the investigation on the development of novel photochemical and electrochemical aminocatalytic processes is presented. In the first case, the development of an enantioselective photochemical [2+2] cycloaddition is reported. Subsequently, an electrochemical approach for the asymmetric functionalization of aldehydes is detailed. This research is motivated by the identification of alternative sustainable tools for enantioselective organic synthesis.
