Various substituted -lactones were easily prepared under flow conditions by photocatalytic addition of aldehydes onto unsaturated esters followed by reduction of the resulting -keto esters with sodium borohydride (NaBH4); The -hydroxy esters obtained easily cyclized to give the desired heterocycles in good yield
