Radical/radical cross-coupling reactions represent an efficient and straightforward approach for the construction of chemical bonds accordingly have drawn increasing attention over past decades. In order to achieve synthetically useful transformations, a persistent radical should be coupled with transient in accordance effect (PRE). However, known radicals outnumber by far types free radicals, which limits widespread application PRE, until today. Thus, development between has been focus, meanwhile transition-metal catalysis successfully implemented artificially prolong lifetimes, allowing their utilization formal radical/radical cross-couplings. Complementary research field recently uncovered that organocatalytically generated NHC-derived ketyl are type catalytically radicals. NHC-catalyzed transformations aldehydes carboxylic acid derivatives enabled disclosure ever-increasing number interesting reactions, different from traditional ionic processes, offering otherwise inaccessible activation modes. These discoveries opened door NHC organocatalysis manipulation reactions. Due its obvious potential synthetic organic chemistry, it is timely provide perspective on this emerging field.

Abstract The merger of photoredox and transition-metal catalysis has evolved as a robust platform in organic synthesis over the past decade. stereoselective 1,4-functionalization 1,3-enynes, prevalent synthon synthetic chemistry, could afford valuable chiral allene derivatives. However, tremendous efforts have been focused on ionic reaction pathway. radical-involved asymmetric 1,3-enynes remains prominent challenge. Herein, we describe three-component 1,4-dialkylation via dual chromium to provide allenols. This method features readily available starting materials, broad substrate scope, good functional group compatibility, high regioselectivity, simultaneous control axial central chiralities. Mechanistic studies suggest that this proceeds through redox-neutral
