Visible-light-enabled stereoselective synthesis of functionalized cyclohexylamine derivatives via [4 + 2] cycloadditions

Abstract

An unprecedented intermolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of benzocyclobutylamines with α-substituted vinylketones enabled by photoredox catalysis has been developed. The current method enables a facile access to highly functionalized cyclohexylamine...
