A Visible-Light-Induced Cyclization Reaction

Visible light-catalyzed organic chemical transformations with the benefits of green and sustainable, streamlined steps, and mild conditions have drawn increasing interest and attention due to the abundance of visible light, green and non-toxic, and low-cost. These reactions undoubtedly offer new ways, new methods, and new technologies for organic synthetic chemistry, which has developed quickly in the field of organic synthesis in recent years. Cyclization reactions stand out as a significant tool since they allow for the creation of many bonds, even stereocenters, in a single step while maintaining predictable stereochemistry. In this review, we summarize the development of visible-light-induced cyclization reactions.
