The synthesis of functionalized γ-lactams is challenging due to instability of the products and difficulties in controlling diastereoselectivity. Here, the authors report on the design and synthesis of a naphthyl-based pyrene-containing covalent organic framework and utilize it as a heterogeneous photocatalyst for synthesis of γ-lactams.
