The difunctionalization reaction is achieved by different reagents. Radicals such as carbon(sp3), carbon(sp2), and other heteroatom(P, S, N, Se, O, and halide) radicals initiated by visible light can undergo radical addition to a carbon-carbon triple bond. Upon further transformation, the desired difunctionalized products are obtained. Some organometallic complexes can be activated by visible light;the difunctionalization of alkynes is catalyzed by these species. Other reagents like 1,3-dipole precursors could also react with alkynes to give difunctionalization products;here, the 1,3-dipole derivatives are obtained by visible light photocatalysis. So far, the strategy has been succeeded in the formation of C–C bonds and C–X bonds. Several valuable chemical skeletons have been constructed under mild conditions. However, high regio-and stereoselectivities in some direct difunctionalization methodologies are yet to be achieved.展开更多

Here, we apply the technology to intermolecular [4+2] annulation of cyclobutylanilines with alkenes, alkynes, and diynes by photoredox catalysis. An across-the-board improvement in the annulation's efficiency is noticed. Moreover, a gram-scale annulation is successfully demonstrated in continuous flow using a much lower catalyst loading.展开更多
