Abstract

Herein we report the first redox-neutral visible-light photocatalytic intermolecular dipolar cycloaddition for the diastereoselective synthesis of isoxazolidines. We have found that vinyl nitrones with a diverse substitution pattern undergo visible-light-promoted cycloadditions with conjugated carbonyls in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ru(bpy)3Cl2, with the reaction proceeding with high yields and good selectivities. A redox-neutral pathway is proposed as the primary photoredox mechanism for this transformation.
