Photoredox-Catalyzed Dimerization of Arylalkenes via an Oxidative [4+2] Cycloaddition Sequence: Synthesis of Naphthalene Derivatives

We report a radical cation [4+2] annulation of arylalkenes to afford naphthalene derivatives using an organic photosensitizer (9‐mesityl‐10‐methylacridinium perchlorate) under visible light photocatalysis. In the presence of oxygen (in the air), the oxidative dimerization/intramolecular [4+2] cycloa...
