To develop an energy transfer-mediated intermolecular dearomative cycloaddition of bicyclic azaarenes to access complex three-dimensional scaffolds for medicinal chemistry.
Coupled bicyclic azaarenes (quinolines, isoquinolines, and quinazolines) with electronically diverse alkenes using a photochemical [4 + 2] cycloaddition approach.
Performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the reaction mechanism and determine the factors controlling regio- and diastereoselectivity.
Achieved high regio- and diastereoselectivity across intermolecular [4 + 2] dearomative cycloadditions with a broad range of alkene substrates.
Provided direct synthetic access to previously inaccessible bridged polycyclic structures while computational analyses clarified the underlying selective mechanisms.
