Visible light-mediated Alder-ene reaction of bicyclobutanes with cyclohexynes to access skipped dienes and skeletal remodeling to tetralines
The strain-release driven reactions of bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) offer a powerful synthetic strategy for the construction of complex carbocyclic frameworks. Herein, we report the direct engagement of BCBs with transient cyclohexynes through a visible light-mediated dual-strain release manifold. By utilizing a photoc...
