Ketyl radicals are valuable reactive intermediates for synthesis and are used extensively to
construct complex, functionalized products from carbonyl substrates. Single electron transfer …

We report the photoredox alkylation of halopyridines using functionalized alkene and alkyne
building blocks. Selective single-electron reduction of the halogenated pyridines provides …

The Cα–Cβ bond in homoallylic alcohols can be activated under basic conditions, qualifying
these nonstrained acyclic systems as radical allylation reagents. This reactivity is …

A new protocol for amide‐directed ortho and lateral C− H sodiation is enabled by sodium
hydride (NaH) in the presence of either sodium iodide (NaI) or lithium iodide (LiI). The …

The mild catalytic generation of ketyl radicals for organic transformations remains an
unsolved issue, although it facilitates the discovery of metal-catalyzed reactions in feature of …

The α-diimine-ligated Zn–Zn-bonded compound [K (THF) 2] 2 [LZn–ZnL](1, L=[(2, 6-i
Pr2C6H3) NC (Me)] 22–) displays diverse reactivities toward a variety of ketones. In the …

An efficient method has been developed for the stereoselective synthesis of 4-
(diarylmethylidene)-3, 4-dihydroisoquinolin-1 (2H)-ones 7 through tandem Heck–Suzuki …

Dearomatic silylation of arene derivatives is an intriguing synthetic target, which represents
an elegant extension of Birch reduction and produces silylated cyclohexene derivatives with …

A novel and expedient one-pot synthesis of thiazino [2, 3, 4-hi] indole derivatives from o-
haloaryl enamines and o-bromothiophenols has been developed. The tandem oxidative …

A photo-assisted three-step procedure to fix carbon dioxide (CO2) onto aryl bromides is
reported. In the first photoinduced step, CO2 is temporarily fixed onto benzophenone to …
