Selective cleavage of C-C bonds forms one of the greatest challenges in current organic chemistry, due to the relative strength of these bonds. However, such transformations are an invaluable instrument to break down and construct new carbon-carbon bonds. To achieve this, photochemistry can be used as a valuable tool to generate radicals and induce the cleavage of these bonds. This review paints a picture of some of the most influential contributions in this field from the last decade.

High Stereoselectivity

The polycyclisation of polyeneynes catalyzed by gold(i) has been extended for the first time to the simultaneous formation of up to four carbon–carbon bonds, leading to steroid-like molecules with high stereoselectivity in a single step with low catalyst loadings.
