Abstract

This effort reports the first redox-neutral visible-light photocatalytic intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition for the diastereoselective synthesis of chromenoisoxazolidines. The authors have found that alkenylphenyl nitrones with a diverse substitution pattern on the aromatic ring and the alkenyl substituent undergo visible-light-promoted cycloadditions in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ru(bpy) 3 Cl 2 in high yields and selectivities. Evidence indicates that the proposed redox-neutral pathway is the predominant photoredox mechanism for this transformation.
