Neutral organic super electron donors (SEDs) display impressive reducing power but, until now, it has not been possible to use them catalytically in radical chain reactions. This is because, following electron transfer, these donors form persistent radical cations that trap substrate-derived radicals. This paper unlocks a conceptually new approach to super electron donors that overcomes this issue, leading to the first catalytic neutral organic super electron donor.

Electron-transfer reductions of unactivated aryl and alkyl iodides with a neutral ground-state organic molecule are reported. The reducing agent 1 is formed in two steps from N-methylbenzimidazole using very simple chemistry, and subsequent treatment of the iodoalkane or-arene with 1 affords cyclized products (see scheme).
Stereoselective synthesis of 3-alkylideneoxindoles using tandem indium-mediated carbometallation and palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions

The first efficient methods for the stereoselective synthesis of various (E)-, (Z)-, and disubstituted 3-alkylideneoxindoles via radical cyclization reactions were investigated using tandem indium-mediated carbometallation and palladium-catalyzed cross-co
