ConspectusClassical education in organic chemistry and catalysis, not the least my own, has centered on two-electron transformations, from nucleophilic attack to oxidative addition. The focus is well-founded, as this brand of enabled incredible feats synthesis, development life-saving pharmaceuticals production ubiquitous commodity chemicals. With that said, approach many ways complementary nature, where enzymes frequently make use single-electron "radical" steps achieve challenging reactions with exceptional selectivity, including light detection C-H hydroxylation. While power radical elementary undeniable, fundamental understanding of─and ability apply─these catalysis remains underdeveloped, constraining palette which chemists can new reactions.Motivation remedy traditional underemphasis been intensified by runaway success outer-sphere photoredox only confirming versatility radicals anthropogenic but also teaching value robust well-understood catalytic cycles for reaction design.

γ-Spirolactam is a privileged building block that found in wide range of natural products and bioactive compounds. Herein, we report an arenethiolate-catalyzed 1,5-HAT aryl halides to obtain γ-spirolactams through SET reduction/intramolecular 1,5-HAT/cyclization/HAT process. This protocol features metal-free conditions broad substrate scope, furnishing the moderate excellent yields. Notably, bromides, chlorides even fluorides are well tolerated this transformation. A mechanism involving arenethiolate as catalyst proposed based on DFT calculation.

Pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) and derivatives of this cofactor enable a plethora reactions in both enzyme-mediated free-in-solution transformations. With few exceptions each category, such chemistry has predominantly involved two-electron processes. This sometimes poses significant challenge for using PLP to build tetrasubstituted carbon centers, especially when the reaction is reversible. The ability access radical pathways paramount broadening scope catalyzed by coenzyme. In study, we demonstrate PLP-based intermediate engage number C-C bond-forming reactions. By selection an appropriate oxidant, single-electron oxidation quinonoid can be achieved, which subsequently applied Through pathway, synthesized series α-tertiary amino acids esters investigate substrate identify nonproductive pathways.

A method for hydrofluoroalkylation of alkenes with trifluoroacetic esters under visible light irradiation affording difluorinated products is described. The reaction involves readily available trimethyltriazinane as a shoichiometric reducing agent, which generates diamino-substituted alkyl radical serving strong electron donor. It believed that the cleavage C–F bond by triazinane-derived single reduction coupled fluoride transfer.

An efficient strategy for intramolecular oxidative cyclization of 2-alkynylthioanisoles toward 3-acylbenzo[b]thiophenes by photochemical hydrogen atom transfer catalysis has been developed. 3-Acylbenzo[b]selenophenes, benzofurans and indoles can also be prepared this protocol. This reaction is convenient to perform at room temperature under simple conditions using air as the oxidant. Mechanistic studies revealed that formation α-thioalkyl radicals intermediate crucial.Graphical abstract
