Article Abstract
An efficient protocol for visible-light-mediated synthesis of a specific class of 1,2,4-dithiazolidines from β-ketothioamides is devised employing eosin Y as a photoinitiator at ambient temperature in an open pot. The reaction proceeds via an in situ-generated thiyl radical followed by dimerization/deaminative cyclization cascade, enabling the creation of a dithiazolidine ring through successive formation of S-S and N-C bonds under metal- and additive-free conditions. Remarkably, the benign conditions, sustainability, and quantifying forbearance of wide horizons of functional groups are added characteristics to the strategy. The developed hydrogen-atom-transfer methodology will be helpful in postsynthetic modification via added synthetic handles.

The photocatalytic oxidative dipolar [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction is a promising green approach for producing pyrrolo[2,1-]isoquinolines. However, developing sustainable cycloaddition methods with heterogeneous photocatalysts is still in its infancy, largely owing to their low reactivity and photostability. Herein, we propose a charge-oxygen synergy strategy through a dual-engineered covalent organic framework (COF) by integrating π-spacers with donor-acceptor motifs to promote intermolecular cycloaddition.

Herein, we report an efficient visible-light-mediated reaction of alkynones with ethyl diazoacetate for the construction of cyclic frameworks containing the 1,4-dicarbonyl moiety. In this photocatalytic system, a readily available phenothiazine derivative serves as the organic catalyst, which, upon photoexcitation, gains strong reducing power to facilitate the divergent synthesis of structurally diverse thioflavone derivatives. This metal-free protocol exhibits broad substrate scope and mild reaction conditions, providing a versatile and sustainable approach to high-value heterocycles.

Herein, we report a visible light-mediated, metal- and photocatalyst-free, green and sustainable synthesis of biologically relevant functionalized benzopyrans by a one-pot, pseudo-multicomponent reaction at room temperature. The notable features of the present protocol include a green and renewable energy source, high yields, easy isolation of the products without performing column chromatography, metal- and photocatalyst-free conditions, room-temperature synthesis, broad substrate scope, environmental friendliness and gram-scale synthesis of the products. In the present study, the benzopyrans are also subjected to molecular docking, which revealed that some benzopyrans are promising potential inhibitors of key nsPs in both Chikungunya and Zika viruses.

Cyclobutane-fused heterocycles are important motifs in biologically active molecules, yet their enantioselective synthesis remains a significant challenge. We report a broadly applicable and modular strategy for constructing these strained architectures through a visible-light-mediated, Lewis acid-catalyzed dearomative [2+2] photocycloaddition of indoles, benzofurans, and benzothiophenes with alkenes. The method employs a simple catalytic system based on commercially available rare-earth Lewis acids and chiral pyridine-2,6-bis(oxazoline) (PyBox) ligands.

Trifluoromethylated aliphatic amines, particularly those with structurally complex architectures, have emerged as valuable motifs in drug discovery due to their unique capacity to enhance metabolic stability, membrane permeability, and affinity for biological targets. However, the selective and efficient synthesis of these compounds remains a significant challenge, limiting their broader incorporation into pharmaceutical agents. Recent advances in light-driven organic synthesis, employing mild and sustainable visible-light-mediated conditions, have enabled modular and practical strategies for constructing these privileged structures from simple, readily available starting materials.
