Abstract α, α-Disubstituted α-amino acids (α-AAs) have improved properties compared to
other types of amino acids. They serve as modifiers of peptide conformation and as …

Chlorophyll, the principal photoacceptor of green plants, plays a pivotal role in
photosynthesis. In the recent past, chlorophyll has also been utilized as an efficient organo …

Singlet oxygen (1O2)-mediated oxidation represents an attractive strategy for incorporation
of oxygen atoms from air under mild and environmentally benign conditions. However, the …

Direct hydroxylation via the functionalization of tertiary benzylic C (sp3)–H bonds is of great
significance for obtaining tertiary alcohols, which find wide applications in pharmaceuticals …

Reduction-and-oxidation (redox) reactions are one of the most utilized approaches for the
synthesis of value-added compounds. With the growing awareness of green chemistry …

Acridone, a cyclic analogue of benzophenone that undergoes efficient intersystem crossing
(ISC) to the triplet-excited state with near-unity quantum yield, was elaborated as a 3 …

Selective cleavage of C–C bonds forms one of the greatest challenges in current organic
chemistry, due to the relative strength of these bonds. However, such transformations are an …

Atomically precise doping of metal nanoclusters provides excellent opportunities not only for
subtly tailoring their properties but also for in-depth understanding of composition (structure) …

We report a one-step approach for the conversion of β-enaminonitriles to synthetically
versatile α-keto amides in moderate to high yields under visible light irradiation …

Methods for the synthesis of 1, 2, 4-triazolidines are scarce. Herein, we report a visible-light-
promoted decarboxylative addition cyclization of N-aryl glycines and azobenzenes to access …
