Recent Advances in Photoinduced Radical Cascade Cyclizations Enabling Five-Membered N-Heterocycle Formation
摘要
Five-membered N-heterocycles are ubiquitous in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and other biologically active compounds. Over the past decades, visible light-induced photoredox catalysis has emerged as a robust and sustainable mode of catalysis in organic synthesis. Consequently, significant attention has been directed towards this field, and numerous mild and efficient methods for synthesizing these structurally diverse five-membered N-heterocycles have been disclosed. In this chapter, we primarily summarize the recent advances in visible light-induced radical cascade reactions for the synthesis of five-membered N-heterocycles from 2018 to August 2023, highlighting the formation of various classes of N-heterocycles and the involvement of radical intermediates.
