photoinduced acylation of N‐heterocycles is explored. This visible‐lighttriggered reaction occurs not only under extremely mild reaction conditions, but also does not require the presence of a photosensitizer. The mechanistic studies suggest formation of EDA complexes prompt to harness the energy from visible‐light. Compatibility with a large panel of α‐keto acids as acyl precursors and an array of N‐heterocycles

Noveltotalsyntheses of oxoaporphine alkaloids such as liriodenine, dicentrinone, cassameridine, lysicamine, oxoglaucine and O-methylmoschatoline were developed. The key step of these totalsyntheses is Cu-catalyzed conversion of 1-benzyl-3,4-dihydro-isoquinolines (1-Bn-DHIQs) to 1-benzoyl-isoquinolines (1-Bz-IQs) via tandem oxidation/aromatization. This novel Cu-catalyzed conversion has been studied
from the corresponding isoquinolinones and (2-bromophenyl)acetonitriles in four steps. This represents a convenientapproach toward the synthesis of tetracyclic alkaloids. A direct conversion of 1-(2-bromobenzoyl)isoquinolines to dibenzo[de,g]quinolin-7-ones is the key step in the total synthesis. The yield of the reductive photocyclization depends on the position of the substituents at the isoquinolyl
