Direct C–H bond arylation of (hetero) arenes is a very convenient approach for the synthesis
of a wide variety of molecular targets, including compounds of pharmaceutical interest and π …

Recent developments in the photochemical carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond
formation via photoinduced Ar–X bond dissociation are summarized. The transformations …

Many recent studies have used KO t Bu in organic reactions that involve single electron
transfer; in the literature, the electron transfer is proposed to occur either directly from the …

We report herein a simple, metal-and additive-free, photoinduced borylation of haloarenes,
including electron-rich fluoroarenes, as well as arylammonium salts directly to boronic acids …

Despite the wide use of aryl radicals in organic synthesis, current methods to prepare them
from aryl halides, carboxylic acids, boronic acids, and diazonium salts suffer from limitations …

Newly discovered tris (diisocyanide) molybdenum (0) complexes are Earth-abundant
isoelectronic analogues of the well-known class of [Ru (α-diimine) 3] 2+ compounds with …

We report herein a simple, additive-and metal-free, photoinduced, dual C–H/C–X borylation
of chloro-, bromo-, and iodoarenes. The reaction produces 1, 2-and 1, 3-diborylarenes on …

Coupling of haloarenes to arenes has been facilitated by a diverse range of organic
additives in the presence of KO t Bu or NaO t Bu since the first report in 2008. Very recently …

Long-standing controversial reports of electron transfer from KO t Bu to benzophenone have
been investigated and resolved. The mismatch in the oxidation potential of KO t Bu (+ 0.10 V …

Radical chain reactions leading to C–C bond formation are widely used in organic
synthesis, and initiation of the radical chain process usually requires thermolabile radical …
