The direct activation of inert saturated C–H bonds for selective functionalization has long
been a significant challenge in organic synthesis. The past few decades have witnessed the …

Ketones are ubiquitous motifs in the realm of pharmaceuticals and natural products.
Traditional approaches to accessing these species involve the addition of metal reagents to …

Herein, a paired oxidative and reductive electrolysis enabled weak Brønsted base-promoted
amination of arenes with N, N-dialkyl formamides as the amine source is described. The …

We have developed radical C‐glycosylation using photoexcitable unprotected glycosyl
borate. The direct excitation of glycosyl borate under visible light irradiation enabled the …

We report herein α-C (sp3)–H (hetero) arylation of thioethers enabled by dual nickel and
photoexcited triplet ketone catalysis. The mild reaction conditions of this protocol tolerate a …

Mono α‐acylation of acetone has been achieved for the first time by reacting with bench‐
stable acyl azolium salts under violet‐LED light at room temperature. The intermolecular …

The combination of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis with photochemical
activation is becoming increasingly established as an approach for conducting radical …

As one of the most important key intermediates, NHC-bound acylazolium-based ionic
transformations have been intensively explored in the past two decades. With the …

Herein, we report an oxygen insertion in activated ketones from simple inorganic carbonates
for the synthesis of symmetric aromatic anhydrides. For the first time, Li2CO3 acts as an …

Potassium trifluoroborates have gained significant utility as coupling partners in organic
synthesis, particularly in the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction. Recently, they have also …
