Abstract

Although the use of photons as reagents has enjoyed an incredibly rich history,[1] the use of photons of red-shifted wavelengths, particularly those extending into what is known as the visible region (ie, wavelengths ranging from 380 nm to 750 nm), in the context of promoting synthetically attractive organic transformations has attracted considerable attention only very recently.[2] Thanks to the pioneering work from the groups of MacMillan,[3] Yoon,[4] ...
