Abstract
A visible-light-promoted cascade [2+2+1] bicyclization reaction of N-cyanamide alkenes and activated alkyl bromides has been successfully established. This reaction exhibits mild conditions, metal-free characteristics, and excellent atom- and step-economy, along with environmental friendliness. It demonstrates broad substrate tolerance and scalability to gram-scale synthesis, underscoring its potential for practical applications. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction proceeds through a photoinduced single-electron transfer (SET) process and a 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process mediated by an iminyl radical.
