Thermal C-C bond cleavage reactions allow the construction of structurally diverse molecular skeletons via predictable and efficient bond reorganizations. Visible light photoredox-catalyzed radical-mediated C-C bond cleavage reactions have recently emerged as a powerful alternative method for overco...
