A stereoselective multicomponent approach leading to a novel class of pentasubstituted tetrahydropyridines is described.

Over the last decade, visible‐light photocatalysis has proved to be a powerful tool for the construction of N‐heterocyclic frameworks, important constituents of natural products, insecticides, pharmacologically relevant therapeutic agents and catalysts. This account highlights recent developments and established methods towards the photocatalytic cascades for preparation of different classes of N‐heterocycles, giving emphasis on our contribution to the field.

A procedure for the stereoselective synthesis of β-halovinyl derivatives via a conjugate addition of HX to ynones has been developed.
