Abstract
In an asymmetric [4+2] cycloaddition of vinyl benzoxazinanones with a variety of ketene intermediates via sequential visible-light photoactivation and palladium catalysis, the traceless and transient generation of ketenes from α-diazoketones through visible-light-induced Wolff rearrangement is important for the success of the palladium catalysis.
