As two coexisting and fast-growing research fields in modern synthetic chemistry, the
merging of organocatalysis and C–H bond functionalization is well foreseeable, and the joint …

In recent decades, transient and highly reactive ortho-quinodimethanes (o-QDMs), ortho-
quinone methides (o-QMs) and aza-ortho-quinone methides (aza-o-QMs) have attracted …

Photocatalysis, the use of light to promote organic transformations, is a field of catalysis that
has received limited attention despite existing for over 100 years. With the revolution of …

The controlled switching of fluorophores between non-fluorescent and fluorescent states is
central to every super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (nanoscopy) technique, and the …

Although enantioselective catalysis under thermal conditions has been well established
over the last few decades, the enantioselective catalysis of photochemical reactions is still a …

The direct functionalization of inert C (sp3)‐H bonds to form carbon‐carbon and carbon‐
heteroatom bonds offers vast potential for chemical synthesis and therefore receives …

The principle of vinylogy states that the electronic effects of a functional group in a molecule
are possibly transmitted to a distal position through interposed conjugated multiple bonds …

Visible‐light photocatalysis has advanced as a versatile tool in organic synthesis. However,
attaining precise stereocontrol in photocatalytic reactions has been a longstanding …

Indole-tethered ynones form an intramolecular electron donor–acceptor complex that can
undergo visible-light-induced charge transfer to promote thiyl radical generation from thiols …

The combination of light activation and N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis has
enabled the use of acid fluorides as substrates in a UVA‐light‐mediated photochemical …
