Programmable regiodivergent light-driven cyclization of acyclic 1,5-dienes unlocks rigid bicyclic architectures

Abstract Controlling regioselectivity in radical cyclizations remains a major challenge in synthetic chemistry, hindering the efficient assembly of strained, rigid bicyclic architectures from simple acyclic precursors. Here we show that a visible-light-mediated intramolecular [2...
