Transition metal catalysis is of utmost importance for the development of sustainable
processes in academia and industry. The activity and selectivity of metal complexes are …

Radical C–H functionalization represents a useful means of streamlining synthetic routes by
avoiding substrate preactivation and allowing access to target molecules in fewer steps. The …

Metalloradical catalysis (MRC) exploits the metal-centred radicals present in open-shell
metal complexes as one-electron catalysts for the generation of metal-stabilized organic …

Methyl groups are well understood to play a critical role in pharmaceutical molecules,
especially those bearing saturated heterocyclic cores. Accordingly, methods that install …

Bimolecular homolytic substitution (SH2) is an open-shell mechanism that is implicated
across a host of biochemical alkylation pathways. Surprisingly, however, this radical …

Discovered as organometallic curiosities in the 1970s, carbene radicals have become a
staple in modern-day homogeneous catalysis. Carbene radicals exhibit nucleophilic radical …

The copper‐catalyzed enantioconvergent radical C (sp3)− C (sp2) cross‐coupling of tertiary
α‐bromo‐β‐lactams with organoboronate esters could provide the synthetically valuable α …

Since Friedrich Wöhler's groundbreaking synthesis of urea in 1828, organic synthesis over
the past two centuries has predominantly relied on the exploration and utilization of …

Enzymes are the core for biological transformations in nature. Their structures and functions
have drawn enormous attention from biologists as well as chemists since last century. The …

The performance of a photoinitiator is key to control efficiency and resolution in 3D laser
nanoprinting. Upon light absorption, a cascade of competing photophysical processes leads …
