The combination of photoredox catalysis with the Wolff-Kishner (WK) reaction allows the difunctionalization of carbonyl groups by a radical-carbanion relay sequence (photo-Wolff-Kishner reaction). Photoredox initiated radical addition to N-sulfonylhydrazones yields α-functionalized carbanions following the WK-type mechanism. With sulfur-centered radicals, the carbanions are further functionalized by reaction with electrophiles including CO2 and aldehydes, whereas CF3 radical addition furnishes a wide range of gem-difluoroalkenes through β-fluoride elimination of the generated α-CF3 carbanions. More than 80 substrate examples demonstrate the broad applicability of this reaction sequence. A series of investigations including radical inhibition, deuterium labeling, fluorescence quenching, cyclic voltammetry, and control experiments support the proposed radical-carbanion relay mechanism.

The C(sp3)-P bond forming reaction utilizing N-tosylhydrazones as readily available alkylating reagents was developed, which provides a new opportunity for preparing phosphine oxide derivatives with moderate to good yields. This reductive coupling reaction is proposed to proceed through an insertion of copper carbene into P-H bond of H-phosphorus oxides. The salient features of the reaction are operational simplicity and functional-group tolerance.
