Photochemical pericyclic domino processe

For the reason of comparison and the development of new domino processes, we have created a classification of these transformations. As an obvious characteristic, we used the mechanism of the different bond-forming steps. In this classification, we differentiate between cationic, anionic, radical, pericyclic, photochemical, transition metal-catalyzed, oxidative or reductive, and enzymatic reactions. For this type... 

Besides the numerous examples of anionic/anionic processes, anionic/pericyclic domino reactions have become increasingly important and present the second largest group of anionically induced sequences. In contrast, there are only a few examples of anionic/radical, anionic/transition metal-mediated, as well as anionic/re-ductive or anionic/oxidative domino reactions. Anionic/photochemically induced and anionic/enzyme-mediated domino sequences have not been found in the literature during the past few decades. It should be noted that, as a consequence of our definition, anionic/cationic domino processes are not listed, as already stated for cationic/anionic domino processes. Thus, these reactions would require an oxidative and reductive step, respectively, which would be discussed under oxidative or reductive processes.
