Cover Feature: Syntheses of Carbazoles by Photosensitized Electrocyclization of Triarylamines. Effect of Inductive Electron‐Withdrawing Groups on the Photocyclization (Chem. Eur. J. 22/2025)

In silico studies support the experimental findings of our acetone-sensitized electrocyclization reactions of perfluoroalkyl-substituted triphenylamines (TPAs) into perfluoroalkyl-substituted carbazoles. The calculations predicted that the substituents affect the regioselectivity and the reactivity of TPAs during the photoinduced [6π]-electrocyclization reaction due to changes in the electron density distributions.
