• , mild, and chemoselective radical catalysts that deserve more attention. The present review highlights the recent progress in the field of disulfide-catalyzed and -cocatalyzed photocatalytic reactions for different reaction types. Keywords: cycloaddition; disulfide catalyst; isomerization; oxidation

• stereochemistry of the product can be modulated by changing the stereochemical structure of the disulfide catalyst [10]. The simple reaction mechanism is shown in Scheme 4a. Thiyl radicals, which are generated under irradiation, trigger the reaction by adding to the methylenecyclopropane 4, which affords the
