Abstract
Micellar photocatalysis allows for a simple and benign reaction set-up using water as the solvent without the need for oxygen-removing protocols. Blue light (456 nm) is absorbed by the photocatalyst and allows the [2+2] photocycloaddition to occur between α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and activated alkenes. The observed reactivity for α,β-unsaturated aldehydes is completely turned on by the use of a micellar solution as opposed to organic solvents. More information can be found in the Research Article by L. Næsborg and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202300627).
