Abstract
Ninhydrin bis-acetals give access to 8-ring lactones, benzocyclo-butenes and spirocyclic orthoanhydrides through photoextrusion and tandem photoextrusion reactions. Syntheses of fimbricalyxlactone B, isoshihunine and numerous biologically-relevant heterocycles show the value of the methods, while TA-spectroscopy and TD-DFT studies provide mechanistic insights on their wavelength dependence.

Abstract
An oxidative photocyclisation of N-arylenaminones to indoles is described, that mirrors the Fischer indole synthesis but uses anilines in place of arylhydrazines. Its value is exemplified with new approaches to the WHO-listed APIs ondansetron and alosetron.

Abstract
The photochemistry of aryl chlorides having a X-SiMe3 group (X = O, NR, S, SiMe2) tethered to the aromatic ring has been investigated in detail, with the aim to generate valuable ϭ,π-heterodiradicals. Two competitive pathways arising from the excited triplet state of the aromatics have been observed, namely heterolysis of the aryl-chlorine bond and homolysis of the X-silicon bond. The former path is found in chlorinated phenols and anilines, whereas the latter is exclusive in the case of silylated thiophenols and aryl silanes. A combined experimental/computational approach was pursued to explain such a photochemical behavior.Graphical abstract.

Abstract
A dichotomy between the additions of organolithiums and lithium amides to cyclobutenediones is described wherein the former give carbonyl addition products while the latter induce ring opening by enone cleavage via O- to C-lithium transfer. This distinct mode of ring scission gives access to 2-oxobut-3-enamides and tetrasubstituted furans.

Abstract
A new route to azocines and benzoazocines from furopyridinones is described through a photochemically induced [1,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. The method gives access to these 8-membered nitrogen heterocycles from dimethyl squarate in four stages and with excellent atom economy by sequencing thermal and photochemical ring expansion steps under continuous flow.

Abstract
Myers-Saito cycloaromatization (MSC) is the working mechanism of many natural enediyne antibiotics with high antitumor potency. However, the presence of the equilibrium between diradical and zwitterionic intermediates in MSC severely hinders further improvement in cytotoxicity toward tumor cells. To this end, a series of maleimide-based enediynes with cyclopropane moieties were synthesized for enhanced cytotoxicity toward tumor cells. By taking advantage of radical clock reactions, the diradical intermediates generated from MSC would rearrange to new diradicals with much longer separation and weaker interactions between two radical centers. The computational study suggested a low energy barrier (4.4 kcal mol-1) for the radical rearrangement through the cyclopropane ring-opening process. Thermolysis experiments confirmed that this radical rearrangement results in the formation of a new diradical intermediate, followed by abstracting hydrogen atoms from 1,4-cyclohexadiene. Interestingly, the DNA cleavage ability and cytotoxicity of enediynes were significantly enhanced after the introduction of cyclopropane moieties. In addition, these maleimide-based enediynes exhibited a similar cytotoxicity under hypoxic conditions to that under normoxic conditions, which is beneficial for treating solid tumors where hypoxic environments frequently lead to deteriorated efficiency of many antitumor drugs. Docking studies indicated that the diradical intermediate was located between the minor groove of DNA with a binding energy of -7.40 kcal mol-1, which is in favor of intracellular DNA damage, and thereby inducing cell death via an apoptosis pathway as suggested by immunofluorescence analysis.
