Article Synopsis
- The past century has focused mainly on the Z/E isomerization of di- and tri-substituted alkenes, leaving the tetrasubstituted isomerization largely unexplored.
- This study introduces a method for the atroposelective synthesis of tetrasubstituted alkene analogues through asymmetric allylic substitution and triplet energy transfer photocatalysis for Z/E isomerization.
- Key findings highlight that the generation and distribution of benzylic radicals are crucial for maintaining the enantioselectivities in the synthesis of axially chiral N-vinylquinolinones.
