4,5-Dimethylenecyclohex-1-ene was subjected to a photooxygenation reaction to introduce oxygen functionalities. The endoperoxide obtained underwent an ene-reaction to form hydroperoxides with 1,3-diene structures. Further addition of singlet oxygen to the diene units resulted in the formation of tricyclic hydroperoxides having three oxygens in the molecule. Cleavage of the oxygen-oxygen bonds followed by epoxidation of the remaining C-C double bond and concomitant ring-opening reaction furnished the isomeric carbasugars.

Article Synopsis
- The study identifies abnormal Aβ protein aggregation, inflammation, and mitochondrial issues as key factors in Alzheimer's disease and explores photooxygenation as a potential treatment.
- Challenges include insufficient light penetration in the brain and potential toxicity to healthy tissue, which the researchers aim to address through a new chemical stimulation method to oxidize Aβ aggregates.
- They developed nanoparticles that can release compounds in response to certain conditions, producing reactive oxygen species to help manage Aβ aggregation and neurotoxicity while utilizing novel photosensitizers for targeted treatment.

Two 3-(-substituted phenyl)-3a,8a-dihydro-4-cyclohepta[d]isoxazoles were synthesized by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the corresponding nitrile oxides with cycloheptatriene. Two endoperoxides were synthesized as facially selective and single products in high yields (93%-95%) from the reactions of isoxazole derivatives with singlet oxygen. The exact configurations of the endoperoxide with a methyl group in the phenyl ring and the diol synthesized from it were confirmed by X-ray analysis.

Photocatalysis holds great promise for changing the way value-added molecules are currently prepared. However, many photocatalytic reactions suffer from quantum yields well below 10%, hampering the transition from lab-scale reactions to large-scale or even industrial applications. Molecular dyads can be designed such that the beneficial properties of inorganic and organic chromophores are combined, resulting in milder reaction conditions and improved reaction quantum yields of photocatalytic reactions.

Photocatalyst-free visible light-enabled direct oxygenation of furan-tethered α-azidoketones was studied. The reaction yielded various products depending on the substituents, with isoxazoles forming as the major products. The findings suggest that singlet oxygen was generated during the reaction and reacted with α-azidoketones in a [4 + 2] fashion to yield endoperoxides, which rearranged in multiple ways to generate isoxazoles.
