Correction: An elusive thermal [2 + 2] cycloaddition driven by visible light photocatalysis: tapping into strain to access C2-symmetric tricyclic rings

Abstract

Correction for ‘An elusive thermal [2 + 2] cycloaddition driven by visible light photocatalysis: tapping into strain to access C2-symmetric tricyclic rings’ by Kamaljeet Singh et al., Org. Biomol. Chem., 2018, DOI: 10.1039/c8ob01273c.

A new twist for Stork-Danheiser products enabled by visible light mediated trans-cyclohexene formation; access to acyclic distal enones

“…Indeed, each family of molecules that we and others have explored has displayed diverse reactivity. For instance, 1-aryl cyclohept-1-enes undergo thermal [2 + 2] reactions, 16 while benzofused cycloheptenes undergo facile [3 + 2] reactions with dipoles such as azides. 12,17 More recently, we and others have seen that highly strained trans-cyclohexenes 18 also offer attractive synthetic opportunities.…”
