In contrast to the rapid growth of synthetic electrochemistry in recent years, enantioselective catalytic methods powered by electricity remain rare. In this work, we report the development of a highly enantioselective method for the electrochemical cyanophosphinoylation of vinylarenes. A new family of serine-derived chiral bisoxazolines with ancillary coordination sites were identified as optimal ligands.
