Radical hydrofunctionalization occurs with ease using metal-hydride hydrogen atom transfer (MHAT) catalysis to couple alkenes and competent radicalophilic electrophiles. Traditional two-electron electrophiles have remained unreactive. Herein we report the reductive coupling of electronically unbiased olefins with imines and aldehydes. Iron catalysis allows addition of alkyl-substituted olefins into imines through the intermediacy of free radicals, whereas a combination of catalytic Co(Salt-Bu,t-Bu) and chromium salts enables a branch-selective coupling of olefins and aldehydes through the formation of a putative alkyl chromium intermediate.

A domino synthesis of α-hydroxy ketones has been developed from benzylic secondary alcohols employing catalytic iodonium ions stabilized by DMSO. The reaction proceeds through an unprecedented sequential oxidation of alcohols to ketone and its α-hydroxylation in a controlled manner. The spectroscopic evidence establishes the possibility of formation of a stable halogen-bonded adduct between DMSO and iodonium ions.
