On the other hand, the catalyst-free liquid-assisted grinding/irradiation reaction also led to product formation, featuring a direct photolysis pathway facilitated by substrate

One of the most significant features of the Takai olefination is that it is generally highly selective for the formation of (E)-alkenes ((E):(Z)-product ratios are typically around 4:1 or greater). This selectivity has found wide use

Furthermore, the reduction of the nitro group or cleavage of the methoxy group will give additional substituted linkers, amino and hydroxy-substituted ones
