Recent advances in the photocatalytic synthesis of isoquinoline-1,3-dione derivatives

-acryloylbenzamides with carbon-, sulfur-, phosphorus-, selenium-, and other radical precursors. The mechanistic features and synthetic applications of key transformations, including alkylation, fluoroalkylation, acylation, arylation, and sulfonylation, are discussed in detail. Finally, the review provides an outlook on current challenges and prospective developments in this rapidly evolving field.
