This talk will describe recent developments for the selective activation of non-conjugated carbon-carbon double bonds to synthesize small heterocycles using light-mediated metal-ligand co-operativity. Such processes are of fundamental interest as they have the potential to impact the efficiency of the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and simple chemical building blocks. Efforts in methods development will be presented alongside mechanistic investigations through a combination of experimental spectroscopies and computational studies.
