Although divalent Sm reagents are some of the most important single-electron transfer
reagents for reductive transformations, their catalytic applications are challenging. In this …

The selectivity of SmI2 as a one electron-reductant motivates the development of methods
for reductive Sm-catalysis. Photochemical methods for SmI2 regeneration are desired for …

Enantioselective radical desymmetrization is a highly effective approach for rapidly creating
enantioenriched molecules, introducing dramatically increased structural complexity from …

Catalytic asymmetric dearomatization represents a powerful means to convert flat aromatic
compounds into stereochemically well-defined three-dimensional molecular scaffolds. Using …

Dearomative partial reduction is an extraordinary approach for transforming benzenoid
arenes and has been well‐known for many decades, as exemplified by the dehydrogenation …

Samarium diiodide (SmI2) mediated reductive coupling reactions are powerful methods for
the construction of carbon–carbon bond in organic synthesis. Despite the extensive …

Herein, we show that the combination of the Birch reduction of readily available anisole
derivatives and the catalytic asymmetric inverse‐electron‐demand Diels–Alder reaction of 2 …

Controlling extremely active species remains a formidable challenge in synthetic organic
chemistry. Although carbene species with high and divergent reactivities can access …

We report an efficient and mild approach for radical dearomatization via photoinduced
palladium-catalyzed reaction of three components (ie, furans, alcohols, and bromoalkanes) …

Radical cascade cyclization reactions provide an efficient method for the construction of
polycyclic architectures with multiple stereogenic centers. However, achieving …
