title: A facile and highly atom-economic approach to biaryl-containing medium-ring bislactones.
abstract: Starting from readily available phenanthrenequinone and alkenes, biaryl containing medium-ring bislactones could be easily prepared through sequential photocycloaddition-photooxidation reactions with good yields and diastereoselectivity.
