These reactions generate a considerable increase in complexity, and yield products arduously attainable by classical synthetic steps. Whereas the meta-photocycloaddition has gained a lot of attention in the last decades because of its applicability in the total synthesis of numerous natural products, the ortho- and para-cycloadditions still have a great potential for further development. In this highlight, we review the latest advances in the field of photocycloaddition of alkenes to aromatic systems.", pages = "962-966(5)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/scs/chimia/2008/00000062/00000012/art00003" doi = "doi:10.2533/chimia.2008.962" }
