<div> <p>One of the most efficient ways to synthesize oxetanes is the light-enabled [2+2] cycloaddition reaction of carbonyls and alkenes, referred to as the Paternò-Büchi reaction. The reaction conditions for this transformation typically require the use of high energy UV light to excite the carbonyl, limiting the applications, safety, and scalability. We herein report the development of a visible light-mediated Paternò-Büchi reaction protocol that relies on triplet energy transfer from an iridium-based photocatalyst to the carbonyl substrates. This mode of activation is demonstrated for a variety of aryl glyoxylates and negates the need for both, visible light-absorbing carbonyl starting materials or UV light to enable access to a variety of functionalized oxetanes in up to 99% yield.</p> </div> <br>

The phenolate anion was developed as a new photocatalyst with strong reduction potentials (−3.16 V vs. SCE) to reduction of aryl halides to aryl radicals through single electron transfer.

Distance-dependent energy transfer occurs from the Metal-to-Ligand Charge Transfer (MLCT) excited state to an anthracene-acrylate derivative (Acr-An) incorporated into the polymer network of a semirigid poly(ethyleneglycol)dimethacrylate monolith. Following excitation, to Acr-An triplet energy transfer occurs followed by long-range, Acr-3An—Acr-An → Acr-An—Acr-3An, energy migration. With methyl viologen dication (MV2+) added as a trap, Acr-3An + MV2+ → Acr-An+ + MV+ electron transfer results in sensitized electron transfer quenching over a distance of approximately 90 Å.

<p>Due to the lack of synthetic methods for their synthesis, azetidines are an underrepresented class of nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Herein, we describe the development of a mild, general protocol for the synthesis of azetidines relying on a visible light-mediated [2+2] cycloaddition between oximes and olefins catalyzed by an iridium photocatalyst. This approach is characterized by its operational simplicity, low catalyst loadings and functional group tolerance. Mechanistic investigations suggest that a triplet energy transfer mechanism is operative.<br></p>
