The Kochi–Salomon reaction is the only photochemical [2+ 2] cycloaddition capable of
combining two electronically unactivated olefins into a cyclobutane. Yet, the reaction has …

The ability to exert spatial and temporal control over a transition-metal catalyst offers diverse
opportunities for the fabrication of functional materials. Using an external stimulus such as …

Abstract 2+ 2 Photocycloadditions are idealized, convergent construction approaches of 4-
membered heterocyclic rings, including azetidines. However, methods of direct excitation …

A mild and operationally simple methodology is reported for the synthesis of cyclobutane
rings imbedded within a C2-symmetric tricyclic framework. The method uses visible light and …

Comprehensive Summary A visible light photocatalytic [3+ 2] cycloaddition of alkynes with
readily accessible organic iodides as the C3 synthon is developed herein. By merging …

The application of coordination polymers (CPs) as a platform to control the arrangement of
olefin-containing ligands to produce cyclobutane derivatives by [2+ 2] photocycloaddition …

Dearomative photocycloaddition reactions offer a powerful strategy to construct sp 3-rich 3D
frameworks adorned with diverse functionalities from readily available 2D feedstocks. This …

Herein, a visible-light mediated strategy unlocking a family of cyclic β-amino carbonyl
derivatives bearing three contiguous stereogenic centres is introduced. The overall reactivity …

An enzyme mimic catalytic system was established by employing a chiral metal–organic
cage as the supramolecular reactor, and asymmetric dearomative Diels–Alder (D–A) …

Synthetic photochemistry has undergone significant development, largely owing to the
development of visible-light-absorbing photocatalysts (PCs). PCs have significantly …
