We present a six-step cascade that converts 1,3-distyrylbenzenes (-stilbenes) into nonsymmetric pyrenes in 40-60% yields. This sequence merges photochemical steps, ,-alkene isomerization, a 6π photochemical electrocyclization (Mallory photocyclization); the new bay region cyclization, with two radical iodine-mediated aromatization steps; and an optional aryl migration. This work illustrates how the inherent challenges of engineering excited state reactivity can be addressed by logical design.

We report a radical cyano-cyclization of 1,6-enynes with isonitriles via photochemically driven nickel catalysis, forging alkenyl nitrile-tethered γ-lactams under mild conditions. This reaction leverages the photoexcitation of generated nickel (isonitrile) species to facilitate isonitriles serving as alkyl radical precursors and cyanide sources. The reaction accommodates a wide range of substrates, exhibiting excellent regioselectivity and / stereoselectivity.

Photoredox catalysis is important in modern organic chemistry and the development of new synthetic methods. Mechanistic insights, particularly with photoredox chain reactions, are underdeveloped. This study combines quantum yield (QY) measurements, transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS), and electrochemical analysis to rigorously characterize the mechanism and rate constants of a ruthenium-catalyzed photoredox chain [4 + 2] cyclization between -anethole and isoprene.

Diarylethenes (DAEs) are an important class of photoswitchable compounds that typically undergo reversible photochemical conversions between the open and closed cyclized forms upon treatment with UV light or visible light. In this study, we introduced thioacid functional groups to several photochromic dithienylethene (DTE) derivatives and established a method that can be used to prepare these photoswitchable thioacids. Four thioacid-functionalized diarylethene derivatives were synthesized through the activation of carboxylic acids with -hydroxysuccinimide, followed by reactions with sodium hydrosulfide with yields over 90%.
