Redox processes are at the heart of synthetic methods that rely on either electrochemistry or
photoredox catalysis, but how do electrochemistry and photoredox catalysis compare? Both …

The chemistry of polypyridyl Ru (II) and cyclometalated Ir (III) derivatives provides long-
lasting interest to researchers due to the inherent advantage of their triplet states in a variety …

Radical–radical couplings are mostly nearly diffusion‐controlled processes. Therefore, the
selective cross‐coupling of two different radicals is challenging and not a synthetically …

This review, with over 600 references, summarizes the recent applications of photoredox
catalysis for organic transformation and polymer synthesis. Photoredox catalysts are metallo …

Conspectus Trifluoromethyl (CF3) and difluoromethyl (CF2H) groups are versatile structural
motifs, especially in the fields of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Thus, the …

Radical tri-and difluoromethylation (fluoromethylation) by photoredox catalysis has emerged
as a new synthetic methodology over the past several years. In particular, the strategy is …

The release of the inherent ring strain of cyclobutane and cyclopropane derivatives allows a
rapid build-up of molecular complexity. This review highlights the state-of-the-art of the ring …

A remaining challenge in the synthetic chemistry field is formation of all-carbon quaternary
centers, a feature found in many natural products, particularly in spirocycle systems. 1 …

Recent advances in photoinduced trifluoromethylation and difluoroalkylation under
photocatalysis are summarized. Most of the photoredox reactions proceed efficiently under …

Transition‐metal‐free radical α‐perfluoroalkylation with the accompanying vicinal β‐
alkenylation of unactivated alkenes is presented. These radical cascades proceed by means …
