The recent advances in asymmetric organocatalysis using eutectic mixtures as a reaction medium are revised in this mini‐review. In addition, the first enantioselective transformations using chiral eutectic solvents, which play the role of a green medium and organocatalyst, are described. In this minireview we intend to deepen not only in the synthetic aspects of asymmetric organocatalysis in eutectic mixtures, but also in the fundamental issues that seem to be essential for a successful development of this promising, and at the same time challenging, methodology.

A vitamin B2 derivative allows for the decarboxylative alkenylation of aryl styryl sulfones under visible light irradiation at room temperature to obtain olefins with excellent (E)-diastereoselectivity.
(S)-(1-Pyrrolidin-2-ylmethyl)quinuclidine-1-ium bromide was synthesized in a six-step reaction process starting from l-proline and spectroscopically and thermally characterized.
