Abstract The [2+ 2] photocycloaddition between an electronically excited carbonyl
compound and an alkene leading to oxetanes (Paternò-Büchi reaction) is one of the most …

Proton‐coupled electron transfer (PCET) is studied in different research domains of
chemistry. Many reports involve biochemical processes. Although related phenomena have …

Excited-state proton-coupled electron transfer (ES-PCET) is a promising avenue for solar
fuel production and small molecule activation. Although less is known about ES-PCET …

Recently, our group reported that enone and ketone functional groups, upon
photoexcitation, can direct site-selective sp3 C–H fluorination in terpenoid derivatives. How …

A visible-light-enabled catalytic formylation of fluoroalkyl imines is developed. With readily
accessible starting materials and organocatalysts, this method provides a general approach …

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions are a kind of unconventional redox
reactions, which exhibit special reactivities and selectivities due to their unique …

Inspired by the crucial role of the proton pump of quinone moieties in natural photosynthesis,
we demonstrated a novel “donor–acceptor” strategy for boosting the aerobic visible-light …

Conspectus In recent years, unusual and efficient self-photoredox reactions were detected
for selected benzophenone derivatives (BPs) and anthraquinone derivatives (AQs) in …

The carbon‐carbon and carbon‐heteroatom bond formation reactions are considered as a
fundamental tool in synthetic organic chemistry. They have been effectively utilized in the …

The CC double bond cleavage of 2-cyanoaryl acrylamides through merging 2, 3-
butanedione and N-hydroxysuccinimide as visible-light-enabled hydrogen atom transfer …
