An electron-deficient amide is utilized as a directing group to functionalize nonactivated C(sp3)-H bonds through radical 1,5-hydrogen abstraction. The γ-bromoamides formed are subsequently converted to γ-lactones under mild conditions. The method described is not limited to tertiary and secondary positions but also allows functionalization of primary nonactivated sp3-hybridized positions in a one-pot sequence. In addition, the broad functional group tolerance renders this method suitable for the late-stage introduction of γ-lactones into complex carbon frameworks.

A new protocol for radical transformations of thioamides promoted by Lewis base-boryl radicals is reported. The desulfurizative reduction to access organic amines was enabled utilizing 4-dimethylaminopyridine-BH3 as the boryl radical precursor and PhSH as the polarity reversal catalyst. Alternatively, the chain process for unsaturated thioamides was switched to an annulation reaction using N-heterocyclic carbene-BH3 as the boryl radical precursor and sterically bulky Ph3CSH as the catalyst, allowing for the construction of N-heterocyclic and carbocyclic skeletons.
