Key Points

A visible-light-driven approach effectively generates aza-β-lactams, demonstrating an innovative synthetic method.
The study reveals that photogenerated ketenes and azoarenes undergo a [2+2] cycloaddition to form nitrogen-containing compounds.
Utilizing sustainable visible-light conditions, the synthesis process minimizes reliance on harsh reagents or energy-intensive methods.
This novel photochemical pathway could enhance the efficiency of creating various heterocycles, expanding synthetic chemistry capabilities.

Implication

This research reports the synthesis of aza-β-lactams through visible-light reactions, highlighting advancements in heterocycle production.

Abstract

The development of efficient and sustainable synthetic routes to nitrogen-containing heterocycles remains a cornerstone of modern organic chemistry. Herein, we report a visible-light-induced [2+2] cycloaddition between photogenerated ketenes and azoarenes,...
