Abstract

Conspectus Photochemical transformations are a powerful tool in organic synthesis to access structurally complex and diverse synthetic building blocks. However, this great potential remains untapped in the mainstream synthetic community due to the challenges associated with stereocontrol originating from excited state (s). The finite lifetime of an excited state and nearly barrierless subsequent processes present significant challenges ...
