Copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs) characterized by their well-defined electronic and optical
properties are an ideal platform for organic photocatalysis and exploring atomic-level …

The conversion of feedstock materials into useful chemical compounds through feasible
processes is highly sought after from both industrial and environmental perspectives. In this …

Developing a transition-metal-free system for functionalizing the C (sp3)–H bond has posed
a long-standing challenge in synthetic organic chemistry and is of significance in drug …

We report the development of oxoammonium-catalyzed oxidation of N-substituted amines
via a hydride transfer mechanism. Steric and electronic tuning of catalyst led to …

The electrochemical utilization of electron-deficient methylarenes for radical–radical cross-
couplings remains very rare. Enabled by an umpolung strategy, the unprecedented …

We disclose a benzylic C− H oxidative coupling reaction with alcohols that proceeds through
a synergistic deprotonation, halogenation and substitution sequence. The combination of …

The direct functionalization of C–H bonds has revolutionized the field of synthetic organic
chemistry by enabling efficient and atom-economical modification of arenes by avoiding …

N-Nitrosamines represent a class of bifunctional nitrogen-radical precursors, but their
application potential remains largely unexplored. This study reports the highly atom …

Triazolinediones are known as highly reactive dienophiles that can also act as electrophilic
amination reagents towards enolisable C–H bonds (ionic pathway) or weak C–H bonds …

The use of graphitic carbon nitride (g‐CN) for the photocatalytic radical formylation of
anilines, which represents a more sustainable and attractive alternative to the currently used …
