Conspectus Compounds containing a difluoromethylene unit have gained increasing
attention due to their utility in drug design. Classic methods for the synthesis of these …

Currently, the chemistry of organofluorine compounds is a leading and rapidly developing
area of organic chemistry. Fluorine present in a molecule largely determines its specific …

We report herein that 4‐alkyl‐1, 4‐dihydropyridines (alkyl‐DHPs) can directly reach an
electronically excited state upon light absorption and trigger the generation of C (sp3) …

The alkoxyl radical is an essential and prevalent reactive intermediate for chemical and
biological studies. Here we report the first donor–acceptor complex‐enabled alkoxyl radical …

We report herein that thermodynamic and kinetic isomerization of alkenes can be
accomplished by the combination of visible light with Co catalysis. Utilizing Xantphos as the …

Hantzsch esters are used extensively in photoredox catalysis as terminal reductants,
donating an electron and a hydrogen atom. They generally exert their reducing potential by …

Organic systems still dominate several traditional areas of chemical science and well-known
applications, such as the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds and drugs. However, a …

An efficient, metal-free strategy for the intermolecular three-component carbopyridylation of
styrenes, enabled by Hantzsch ester and visible light, has been described. This versatile …

The reaction of thiocarbonyl fluoride, generated from difluorocarbene, with various amines
under mild conditions is described. Secondary amines, primary amines, and o …

In the early days of synthetic organic chemistry Hantzsch esters (HEs) were bio‐inspired
hydride donors and often used for the reduction of C= X (X= C, N, O) bonds. Recently, it has …
