Abstract

We report a method for the photocatalytic isomerization synthesis of cis-olefins containing electron-withdrawing groups. The target cis-alkene was synthesized via photocatalytic isomerization using Ir(ppy)₃ as the photosensitizer and 365 nm UV light as the excitation source. This method features mild reaction conditions, high safety, great selectivity, and broad substrate applicability, providing a valuable strategy for the photocatalytic isomerization synthesis of cis-olefin.
