Electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complexes provide a means to initiate radical reactions under visible light irradiation using substrates that do not absorb individually. Catalytic approaches complex formation are vital for advancing this synthetic strategy as it decouples the complexation and photogeneration of radicals from substrate functionalization, limitation inherent stoichiometric restricts structural diversity. This Synopsis highlights recent developments in EDA photochemistry which either donor or acceptor employed catalytically.

Abstract Light‐mediated processes have received significant attention, since they re‐surfaced unconventional reactivity platforms, complementary to conventional polar chemistry. γ‐Lactones and cyclopropanes are prevalent moieties, found in numerous natural products pharmaceuticals. Among various methods for their synthesis, light‐mediated protocols coming the spotlight, although these contingent upon use of photoorgano‐ or metal‐based catalysts. Herein, we introduce a novel photochemical activation iodo‐reagents via cheap sodium ascorbate ascorbic acid enable homolytic scission addition onto double bonds. The developed protocol was applied successfully formal [3+2] cycloaddition synthesis γ‐lactones, traditional atom transfer radical (ATRA) reactions one‐pot two‐step conversion alkenes cyclopropanes. In all cases, desired were obtained good high yields, while reaction mechanism thoroughly investigated. Depending on nature iodo‐reagent, halogen hydrogen‐bonded complex is formed, which initiates process.
