Abstract Two new photocatalytic systems based on flavinium species formed in situ by protonation of riboflavin-tetraacetate (1) with triflic acid or prepared in advance via alloxazine quaternization are presented as effective tools for oxidative cyclobutane ring [2 + 2] cycloreversion using visible light. The system with 1,3-dimethyl-8-trifluoromethylalloxazinium perchlorate (2c) was found to be superior allowing an acid-free mild procedure, which results in the opening of cyclobutanes with high oxidation potential (up to 2.14 V) and/or with sensitive groups (e.g., furan) without side reactions.
