| Abstract | This study describes a novel and general protocol featuring organophotoredox-catalyzed intramolecular decarboxylative construction of carbon-heteroatom (oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur) bonds, enabling direct access to ampakine APIs (CX-614 and CX-554), quinazolinone alkaloids (deoxyvasicinone and mackinazolinone), and thiazinone scaffolds as well as their congeners with broad functional group tolerance and scalability. Mechanistic studies suggest a radical-polar crossover pathway via single-electron oxidation.  |
