We developed an effective method for reductive radical formation that utilizes the radical anion of carbon dioxide (CO2?-) as a powerful single electron reductant. Through a polarity matched hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) between an electrophilic radical and a formate salt, CO2?- formation occurs as a key element in a new radical chain reaction. Here, radical chain initiation can be performed through photochemical or thermal means, and we illustrate the ability of this approach to accomplish reductive activation of a range of substrate classes. Specifically, we employed this strategy in the intermolecular hydroarylation of unactivated alkenes with (hetero)aryl chlorides/bromides, radical deamination of arylammonium salts, aliphatic ketyl radical formation, and sulfonamide cleavage. We show that the reactivity of CO2?- with electron-poor olefins results in either single electron reduction or alkene hydrocarboxylation, where substrate reduction potentials can be utilized to predict reaction outcome.

A novel one-pot iridium-catalyzed domino hydroxymethylation of olefins, which relies on using two different ligands at the same time, is reported. DFT computation reveals different activities for the individual hydroformylation and hydrogenation steps in the presence of mono- and bidentate ligands. Whereas bidentate ligands have higher hydrogenation activity, monodentate ligands show higher hydroformylation activity. Accordingly, a catalyst system is introduced that uses dual ligands in the whole domino process. Control experiments show that the overall selectivity is kinetically controlled. Both computation and experiment explain the function of the two optimized ligands during the domino process.

The one-pot tandem hydroformylation-reduction to synthesize alcohols from olefins is in great demand but suffering from low yields, poor selectivity and harsh condition. Herein, 1,10-phenanthroline (L1) modified Ir-catalyst proved to exhibit multiple cata
