A new method for synthesizing borylated bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes is reported, utilizing [2 + 2]-cycloadditions and a rare photo-ene reaction. The [2 + 2]-cycloaddition of 1,5-dienes efficiently generates borylated bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes, with high diastereoselectivity. The photo-ene reaction enables the diastereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted borylated cyclopentanes. The method allows for the facile diversification of borylated bicyclo[2.1.1]hexane scaffolds, enabling access to a wide range of compounds. The reaction conditions were optimized, and the scope of the process was investigated, showing compatibility with various functional groups and heteroaromatic compounds. The mechanism involves Dexter energy transfer between photoexcited ITX and substrates to generate the triplet state, followed by 5-exo-trig radical addition and ISC/recombination to form the bicyclo[2.1.1]hexane. The photo-ene reaction was found to be effective for generating cyclopentanes, with diastereoselectivity influenced by steric factors and radical recombination. The method was further extended to cross-coupling reactions, allowing for the synthesis of diverse 5-aryl-bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes. The study also highlights the utility of the C–B bond in accessing complex chemical space, with potential applications in agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. The photo-ene reaction was found to be versatile, with applications in the synthesis of various substituted cyclopentanes and other compounds. The results demonstrate the importance of photochemical methods in the synthesis of complex molecules, with potential for further development in this area.A new method for synthesizing borylated bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes is reported, utilizing [2 + 2]-cycloadditions and a rare photo-ene reaction.
