Synthesis of arylboronates borylation of C-C σ-bonds of aryl ketones was achieved by the combined use of photoenergy and a Rh catalyst. The cooperative system enables α-cleavage of photoexcited ketones to generate aroyl radicals the Norrish type I reaction, which are successively decarbonylated and borylated with the rhodium catalyst. This work establishes a new catalytic cycle merging the Norrish type I reaction and Rh catalysis and demonstrates the new synthetic utility of aryl ketones as aryl sources for intermolecular arylation reactions.

The Norrish-Yang reaction, as a typical example, demonstrates the inherent ability of photochemical reaction to facilitate formation of sterically congested C-C bonds, efficiently crafting intricate ring structure in complex organic molecules. Herein we report for the first time a unified synthesis using quinone-based acid-promoted Norrish-Yang photocyclization for the stereoselective construction of multiple avarane-type meroterpenoid natural products.

The thia-Paternò-Büchi reaction represents a straightforward approach to build thietane cores. Unfortunately, the significant instability of thiocarbonyls, particularly thioketones and thioaldehydes, has hitherto rendered this photochemical [2+2]-cycloaddition underexploited. To address this limitation, we report herein a visible-light photochemical domino reaction including: the in situ generation of thiocarbonyls though a Norrish type II fragmentation of pyrenacyl sulfides, and the aforementioned thia-Paternò-Büchi reaction with various non-volatile electron-rich alkenes.

The excitation of carbonyl compounds by light to generate radical intermediates has historically been restricted to ketones and aldehydes; carboxylic acids have been overlooked because of high energy requirements and low quantum efficiency. A successful activation strategy would necessitate a bathochromic shift in the absorbance profile, an increase in triplet diradical lifetime, and ease of further functionalization. We present a single-flask transformation of carboxylic acids to acyl phosphonates that can access synthetically useful triplet diradicals under visible light or near-ultraviolet irradiation.
