Photochemical generation of radical species from α-Stannyl ethers and their reaction with conjugate enones

Photochemical reaction of α-stannyl ethers and conjugated enones proceeds in the presence of photosensitizers to give addition products of aryloxymethyl radicals to the enones.

Secondary Phosphine Oxides as Multitalented Preligands En Route to the Chemoselective Palladium-Catalyzed Oxidation of Alcohols

Secondary phosphine oxides O=PHR2 (SPOs) were identified as multitalented preligands for the chemoselective Pd-catalyzed oxidation of alcohols by a hydrogen-abstracting methodology. SPOs were found to promote the hydrogen-abstraction step as well as hydrogen transfer to a Michael acceptor by generating a putative active H?Pd species. The catalytic system operates under neutral conditions and was proven to be compatible with various electrophilic and nucleophilic functionalities within the substrates as well as water- and air-sensitive functional groups.
