Abstract

We present a new method for [2+2] and [4+2] cyclizations via a radical cation formation driven by methyl viologen mediated electron donor-acceptor complexes. This approach enables the synthesis of cyclobutane and cyclohexene derivatives using a catalytic amount of methyl viologen enabled by oxygen as the terminal oxidant.
