Abstract
In a recent issue of Science, Willis and co-workers reported the [2 + 2] photocycloaddition of N-silyl sulfinylamines with alkenes via energy transfer (EnT) catalysis. This method provides efficient access to diverse four-membered cyclic sulfinamides, which serve as versatile intermediates for the modular synthesis of β-sultams and aza-β-sultams.
