Pyrene is one of the most attractive polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in photochemistry. Based on their redox properties, pyrenes have potential as photosensitizers. In this review, we aim to summarize recent developments in pyrene-catalyzed photoinduced organic reactions via the process of energy transfer or single electron transfer based on the excited state of pyrenes. 1. Introduction 2. Photolysis involving N–O bond cleavage or decarboxylation 3. (Cyclo)addition reactions with styrenes 4. Transformations via cleavage of C–F, C–I, C–S, and C–N bonds 5. Reactions based on sensitization-initiated electron transfer (SenI-ET) 6. Miscellaneous transformations 7. Conclusion

This review focuses on recent developments from our laboratory in the field of radical reactions mediated by the archetypal reductive single electron transfer (SET) reagent, SmI2. Namely, we have expanded the scope of reducible carbonyl moieties to esters and amides and have exploited the resultant ketyl radicals in radical cascade reactions that generate unprecedented scaffolds. Moreover, we have taken the first steps to address the long-standing challenges of catalysis and chiral ligand control associated with the reagent.

Functionalization of amide bond via the cleavage of a non-carbonyl, C-N σ bond remains under-investigated. In this work, a transition-metal-free single-electron transfer reaction has been developed for the C-N σ bond cleavage of N-acylazetidines using the electride derived from sodium dispersions and 15-crown-5. Of note, less strained cyclic amides and acyclic amides are stable under the reaction conditions, which features the excellent chemoselectivity of the reaction. This method is amenable to a range of unhindered and sterically encumbered azetidinyl amides.

Proper interpretation of phenanthrene's and similar PAHs’ photocycle relies on two higher excited state relaxations due to the simultaneous presence of non-adiabatic and adiabatic transitions.

Singlet excited state rate constants have been measured for both the heterolytic and homolytic photocleavage of 3- and 4-methoxy and 3- and 4-cyano (1-naphthylmethyl)trimethylammonium chlorides, 6–10. The results are interpreted in terms of the meta effect or changes in charge distribution upon excitation and the competition between bond cleavage, electron transfer, and hydrogen atom transfer in the contact pairs resulting from the two types of cleavage.
