A general synthesis of azetidines by copper-catalysed photoinduced anti-Baldwin radical cyclization of ynamides

The construction of four-membered rings via a 4-exo-dig cyclization was originally theorized to be unfavourable and only recently shown in sparse examples. Here the authors present a photochemical, radical 4-exo-dig cyclization of ynamides to form azetidines, promoted by copper photoredox catalysis.
