Abstract:
A visible-light-induced cascade radical cyclization of aroyl chlorides with 2-(allyloxy)-benzaldehyde derivatives has been developed. The method takes advantages of unactivated C=C bonds as the acyl radical acceptors and offers a mild and green approach for the synthesis of 1,4-diketones bearing biologically important chroman-4-one skeletons with moderate to good yields.
