Herein we report visible‐light‐induced intramolecular double dearomative cycloaddition of
arenes. Compared with the well‐known photodimerization of arenes under ultraviolet …

Dearomative cycloadditions are a powerful tool to access a large chemical space exploiting
simple and ubiquitous building blocks. The energetic burden due to the loss of aromaticity …

Medium-sized-ring compounds have been recognized as challenging synthetic targets in
organic chemistry. Especially, the difficulty of synthesis will be augmented if an E-olefin …

Conspectus Exploring the enormous chemical space through an expedient building-up of
molecular diversity is an important goal of organic chemistry. The development of synthetic …

The rapid buildup of molecular complexity from simple precursors is a key goal in organic
chemistry. One strategy to achieve this is through a dearomative cycloaddition wherein a 2D …

Photochemical dearomative cycloaddition has emerged as a useful strategy to rapidly
generate molecular complexity. Within this context, stereo-and regiocontrolled …

A dearomative reduction of simple arenes has been developed which employs a visible‐
light‐mediated cycloaddition of arenes with an N‐N‐arenophile and in situ diimide …

A photocatalytic protocol for the divergent dearomative functionalization of indole derivatives
is reported. Under the irradiation of visible light, either dimerization or reduction occurs …

Aromatic compounds are one of the most abundant classes of organic molecules and find
utility as precursors for alicyclic hydrocarbon building blocks. While many established …

Herein, we present a simplified reaction protocol for the dearomatization of bicyclic
azaarenes via photochemical cycloaddition with alkenes using an Ir (III) photosensitizer …
