This review illustrates pioneering work and recent advancements on the use of pro-aromatic
compounds as carbon-and heteroatom-radical precursors. Pro-aromatic systems such as 1 …

C–H functionalization is widely regarded as an important area in the development of
synthetic methodology, enabling the design of more time-and atom-efficient syntheses. The …

Alkyl halides are versatile precursors to access diverse functional groups (FGs). Due to their
lability, the development of surrogates for alkyl halides is strategically important for complex …

An enantioselective reduction of simple carbenium ions with cyclohexadienes containing a
hydridic C− H bond at an asymmetrically substituted carbon atom is disclosed. The net …

Abstract Readily available cyclohexa‐2, 5‐dien‐1‐ylcarbonyl chloride derivatives are
introduced as bench‐stable HCl surrogates for transfer hydrochlorination of terminal and …

Functional-group transfer strategies that utilize bench-stable and easy-to-handle surrogates
create new synthetic avenues with the prospect to avoid the use of highly toxic and …

Indium tribromide catalysed the transfer hydrogenation from dihydroaromatic compounds,
such as the commercially available γ‐terpinene, to enones, which resulted in the cyclisation …

Functional-group-transfer strategies that avoid the use of unsustainable chemicals are
attractive for the development of green methodologies. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) not only …

The regioselective and regiodivergent addition of HD to a variety of 1, 1-diarylalkenes was
realized utilizing selectively deuterated dihydroaromatic compounds, which were generated …

The transfer‐hydrogenation as well as the regioselective and regiodivergent addition of H−
D from regiospecific deuterated dihydroaromatic compounds to a variety of 1, 1‐di‐and …
