Radical intermediates in organic chemistry lack a full octet of electrons and, thus, are
commonly said to be electron deficient. By denotation, such a statement is technically …

As the “chemical chameleon”, sulfonyl-containing compounds and their variants have been
merged with various types of reactions for the efficient construction of diverse molecular …

In industries and academic laboratories, several late transition metal-catalyzed prerequisite
reactions are widely performed during single and multistep synthesis. However, besides the …

Reactions that involve the addition of carbon‐centered radicals to basic heteroarenes,
followed by formal hydrogen atom loss, have become widely known as Minisci‐type …

The study and application of transition metal hydrides (TMHs) has been an active area of
chemical research since the early 1960s, for energy storage, through the reduction of …

Hydrogen-atom transfer mediated by earth-abundant transition-metal hydrides (M-Hs) has
emerged as a powerful tool in organic synthesis. Current methods to generate M-Hs most …

Hydrogen atom transfer from a metal hydride (MHAT) has emerged as a powerful, if
puzzling, technique in chemical synthesis. In catalytic MHAT reactions, earth-abundant …

Catalytic hydrogen atom transfer from metal‐hydrides to alkenes allows feedstock olefins to
be used as alkyl radical precursors. The chemoselectivity of this process makes it an …

Radical addition reactions of olefins have emerged as an attractive tool for the rapid
assembly of complex structures, and have plentiful applications in organic synthesis …

This review deals with some key synthetic developments based on the use of iron or cobalt
complexes to promote radical reactivity which have been devised over the last decades. We …
