Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2016 Dec 12;55(50):15476-15484. doi: 10.1002/anie.201605288. Epub 2016 Oct 12.

Abstract

The combination of multicomponent approaches with light-driven processes opens up new scenarios in the area of synthetic organic chemistry, where the need for sustainable, atom- and energy-efficient reactions is increasingly urgent. Photoinduced multicomponent reactions are still in their infancy, but significant developments in this area are expected in the near future.

Keywords: carbonylation; light-induced reactions; multicomponent reactions; radical cascade reactions; radical ions.
