Abstract
Bicycloalkanes, cubanes and their structural analogues have emerged as bioisosteres of (hetero)arenes. To meet increasing demand, the chemical community has developed a plethora of novel synthetic methods. In this review, we assess the progress made in the field of light-driven construction and functionalization of such relevant molecules. We have focused on diverse structural targets, as well as on reaction processes giving access to: (i) [1.1.1]-bicyclopentanes (BCPs); (ii) [2.2.1]-bicyclohexanes (BCHs); (iii) [3.1.1]-bicycloheptanes (BCHeps); and (iv) cubanes; as well as other structurally related scaffolds. Finally, future perspectives dealing with the identification of novel reaction manifolds to access new functionalized bioisosteric units are discussed.

Abstract
We present herein a pyridinium-masked enol as a versatile platform to produce ketones bearing tri-, di-, and monofluoromethyl in the presence of [Ir(dF(Me)ppy)]2(dtbbpy)]PF6 under blue light (455 nm) irradiation. By simply changing the F-source, α-trifluoromethyl ketones, α-difluoromethyl ketones, and α-monofluoromethyl ketones could be easily prepared in moderate to excellent yields in one step, making it a practical tool for the synthesis of fluorine-containing ketones. In addition, the pyridinium-masked enol could also be extended to the synthesis of sulfonyl ketones. The findings of the present protocol contribute to the arsenal of fluorine chemistry and might have potential applications in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries.
