- Coupling Photocatalysis and Substitution Chemistry to Expand and Normalize Redox-Active Halides
-
Photocatalysis can generate radicals in a controlled fashion and has become an important synthetic strategy. However, limitations due to the reducibility of alkyl halides prevent their broader implementation. Herein we explore the use of nucleophiles that can substitute the halide and serve as an electron capture motif that normalize the variable redox potentials across substrates. When used with photocatalysis, bench-stable, commercially available collidinium salts prove to be excellent radical precursors with a broad scope.

- Low-Valent Titanium-Mediated Radical Conjugate Addition Using Benzyl Alcohols as Benzyl Radical Sources
-
A concise method to directly generate benzyl radicals from benzyl alcohol derivatives has been developed. The simple and inexpensive combination of TiCl4(collidine) (collidine = 2,4,6-collidine) and manganese powder afforded a low-valent titanium reagent, which facilitated homolytic cleavage of benzylic C-OH bonds. The application to radical conjugate addition reactions demonstrated the broad scope of this method. The reaction of various benzyl alcohol derivatives with electron-deficient alkenes furnished the corresponding radical adducts.

- Visible-Light-Mediated Remote γ-C(sp3)-H Functionalization of Alkylimidates: Synthesis of 4-Iodo-3,4-dihydropyrrole Derivatives
-
An efficient and environmentally friendly synthetic approach toward functionalized dihydropyrrole derivatives is reported. The developed protocol proceeds via chemoselective intramolecular N-C bond formation of alkylimidates through 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer from in situ generated imidate N-radicals. The major advantage of this designed strategy lies in the choice of starting materials, mild reaction conditions, high chemo- and diastereoselectivity, clean source of energy, and good functional group tolerance. Further, 4-iododihydropyrroles could be easily transformed into a variety of useful derivatives.
