Recent progress in visible light photocatalytic reactions has revitalized the use of photochemistry in the synthesis of complex organic molecules. This review examines total syntheses published by the end of 2020 that employ visible-light photoredox catalysis, providing insights on functional group compatibility and synthetic strategies.
Recent progress in the development of photocatalytic reactions promoted by visible light is leading to a renaissance in the use of photochemistry in the construction of structurally elaborate organic molecules. Because of the rich functionality found in natural products, studies in natural product total synthesis provide useful insights into functional group compatibility of these new photocatalytic methods as well as their impact on synthetic strategy. In this review, we examine total syntheses published through the end of 2020 that employ a visible-light photoredox catalytic step. To assist someone interested in employing the photocatalytic steps discussed, the review is organized largely by the nature of the bond formed in the photocatalytic step.
