Over the past decade, visible-light-mediated energy-transfer (EnT) catalysis, particularly triplet–triplet (TTEnT) has emerged as a mild and environmentally friendly approach for diverse organic synthetic transformations. In contrast to photoredox which typically requires sacrificial electron donors or acceptors complete catalytic cycle, EnT photocatalysis generally proceeds with high atom economy while minimizing generation of wasteful byproducts. Furthermore, successful catalysis is contingent upon precise control redox potentials both photocatalysts substrates, strategies are primarily influenced by triplet energy compatibility between these entities.

Abstract While polyborylated alkenes are being recognized for their elevated status as highly valuable reagents in modern organic synthesis, allowing efficient access to a diverse array of transformations, including the formation C−C and C‐heteroatom bonds, potential energy‐transfer reactive groups has remained unexplored. Yet, this holds key generating elusive biradical species, which can be captured by olefins, thereby leading construction new highly‐borylated scaffolds. Herein, we report designed strategy photosensitized [2+2]‐cycloadditions poly‐borylated with various olefins enabling regioselective synthesis cyclobutane motifs, 1,1‐di‐, 1,1,2‐tri‐, 1,1,2,2‐tetra‐borylated cyclobutanes. In fact, these compounds belong family that presently lacks synthetic pathways. Interestingly, when α‐methylstyrene was used, reaction involves an interesting 1,5‐hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). Mechanistic deuterium‐labeling studies have provided insight into outcome process. addition, cyclobutanes then demonstrated useful selective oxidation processes resulting cyclobutanones γ‐lactones.
