✦ Synopsis

Room temperature thermal and photochemical chromium(0)-catalyzed higher-order cycloaddition processes are described. A novel photoactivated reaction employing a substoichiometric amount of a chromium(0) pre-catalyst has also been demonstrated in a multi-component [6p+2p+2p] cycloaddition. These chromium-mediated cycloaddition reactions can also be conducted in aqueous media.
