An asymmetric photchemical synthesis of a dihyrohelicene demonstrates two wavelengths of circularly polarized (CP) light can be used to ensure the enantiomeric induction intrinsic to each step can combine additively; significantly increasing the asymmetric induction possible over a single wavelength approach.
