An efficient intramolecular radical cyclization reaction via photoredox catalysis was developed for the synthesis of dibenzocycloketone derivatives using methylene blue as a photosensitizer. This strategy could be widely used to synthesize large heterocycles due to the unique reactivity of phosphoranyl radicals formed by a polar/SET crossover between an aromatic carboxylic acid and a phosphine radical cation. Attractive features of this process include generation of an acyl radical by an inexpensive and metal-free photocatalyst, which effectively undergoes a cyclization process.

A new diamine ligand for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) was discovered. The reductive cyclization of 2-acylarylcarboxylates was found to proceed highly stereoselective by the new Ru complex-catalyzed ATH and subsequent In situ lactonization under aqueous conditions. It enables efficient access to a wide variety of 3-substituted phthalides In enantiomerically pure form.
