Abstract
Quinone methides (QMs) are highly reactive intermediates and important building blocks for diverse molecular scaffolds. In recent years, there has been remarkable growth in the area of quinone methide photochemistry. Under photoirradiation conditions, p-quinone methides (p-QMs) exhibit versatile chemical reactivity as electrophilic acceptors for radical addition and annulation reactions. However, o-quinone methides (o-QMs) are mostly involved in photocyclization reactions. This review sheds light on recent advancements (2020–mid 2025) in photoinduced functionalization of p-/o-quinone methides to form diverse molecular scaffolds, especially emphasizing their mechanistic insights.
期刊介绍：
Organic chemistry is the fundamental science that stands at the heart of chemistry, biology, and materials science. Research in these areas is vigorous and truly international, with three major regions making almost equal contributions: America, Europe and Asia. Asia now has its own top international organic chemistry journal—the Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry (AsianJOC)
The AsianJOC is designed to be a top-ranked international research journal and publishes primary research as well as critical secondary information from authors across the world. The journal covers organic chemistry in its entirety. Authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories.
