Figure Abstract

Caption

The first general transition-metal-free, photoinduced acetalation-pyridylation of alkenes using diethoxyacetic acid and cyanopyridine under mild conditions is reported. This environmentally friendly method is tolerant to many functional groups and independence of chemical oxidants. Various functional group transformation, late-stage modification of drugs, and good in vitro antitumor activity indicate this protocol is of significance and potential for drug development.
