A mild photocatalytic manifold for the synthesis of gamma-lactones has been developed. Utilizing Ru(bpy)(3)Cl-2 as the photocatalyst, a cheap and reproducible synthetic protocol for gamma-lactones has been introduced. Mechanistic studies revealed the successful monitoring of photocatalytic reactions and radical intermediates via high-resolution mass spectrometry.
