this, organo‐photocatalysts that are based on atropisomericthioureas and display lower excited‐state energies than the reactive substrates have been developed. These photocatalysts were found to be efficient in promoting the [2+2] photocycloaddition of 4‐alkenyl‐substituted coumarins, which led to the corresponding products with high enantioselectivity (77–96 % ee) at low catalyst loading (1–10 mol %)

Photochemistry goes acidic! In the presence of the chiral Lewisacid catalyst 2 the intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition of 4‐(alk‐4‐enyl)coumarins (1) provides the corresponding products 3 with up to four stereogenic centers in a highly chemo‐ (84–89 % yield) and stereoselective fashion. For R=H, enantioselectivities up to 82 % ee are possible with 50 mol % catalyst 2 and up to 78 % ee with only
