Herein, a photocatalytic Giese-type reaction with alkylsilicates bearing C,O-bidentate ligands as stable alkyl radical precursors has been reported. The alkylsilicates were prepared in one step from organometallic reagents. Not only primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl radicals, but also elusive methyl radicals, could be generated by using the present reaction system. The generated radicals were trapped by electron-deficient olefins bearing various functional groups to give the desired alkyl adducts. The silicon byproduct can be recovered after the photoreaction. The radical generation process was investigated by theoretical calculations, which provided an insight into the facile generation of methyl radicals from methylsilicate bearing C,O-bidentate ligands.

Conjugate addition is one of the most synthetically useful carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions; however, reactive carbon nucleophiles are typically required to effect the addition. Radical conjugate addition provides an avenue for replacing reactive nucleophiles with convenient radical precursors. Carboxylic acids can serve as simple and stable radical precursors by way of decarboxylation, but activation to reactive esters is typically necessary to facilitate the challenging decarboxylation. Here, we report a direct, dual-catalytic decarboxylative radical conjugate addition of a wide range of carboxylic acids that does not require acid preactivation and is enabled by the visible light-driven acridine photocatalysis interfaced with an efficient copper catalytic cycle. Mechanistic and computational studies provide insights into the roles of the ligands and metal species in the dual-catalytic process and the photocatalytic activity of substituted acridines.

A direct β-alkenylation of simple ketones with alkenyl bromides is reported via a Pd-catalyzed redox cascade strategy. The reaction is redox neutral and directing-group-free, in the absence of strong acids or bases. Both cyclic and linear ketones are suitable substrates, and various alkenyl bromides can be coupled. The resulting β-alkenyl ketones are readily derivatized through diverse alkene functionalization.
