| Summary: | Dearomatization reactions provide rapid access to structurally complex three-dimensional molecules from simple aromatic compounds. Plenty of reports have demonstrated their utilities in the synthesis of natural products, medicinal chemistry, and materials science in the last decades. Recently, visible-light mediated photocatalysis has emerged as a powerful tool to promote many kinds of transformations. The dearomatization reactions induced by visible-light have also made significant progress during the past several years. This review provides an overview of visible-light induced dearomatization reactions classified based on the manner in which aromaticity is disrupted.

| Bibliography: | Xiao Zhang received her BSc degree in chemistry in 2010 from Anhui Normal University, and completed her PhD degree in 2015 under the direction of Professor Shu-Li You at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC). After spending two years as a Humboldt postdoctoral fellow with Professor Eric Meggers at Philipps-Universität Marburg, she joined SIOC in 2017. In 2020, she moved to Fujian Normal University and was appointed as a Professor. Her research interests are in the areas of photochemistry and porous materials. Shu-Li You received his BS in chemistry from Nankai University (1996). He obtained his PhD from the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC), Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2001 under the supervision of Prof. Li-Xin Dai before doing postdoctoral studies with Prof. Jeffery Kelly at The Scripps Research Institute. From 2004, he worked at the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation as a PI before returning to SIOC as a Professor in 2006. His research interests mainly focus on asymmetric C-H functionalization and catalytic asymmetric dearomatization (CADA) reactions. Yuan-Zheng Cheng studied chemistry at Henan Normal University, where he was awarded a bachelor's degree in 2012. Then, he moved to Nanjing University to study organic chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Shouyun Yu. After completing his doctoral studies in 2017, he conducted his postdoctoral research in Prof. Shu-Li You's group at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is now working as an assistant researcher in Prof. You's group at SIOC. His current research focuses on visible-light promoted dearomatization of aromatic compounds. Zuolijun Feng graduated with a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Sussex in 2020. She is also a master's student at the University of Leeds, working under the direction of Prof. Steve Marsden. She is presently an intern in Prof. Shu-Li You's group at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Her research interests are the intersection of computational studies and organic chemistry.
