Nature routinely engages alcohols as leaving groups, as DNA biosynthesis relies on the removal of water from ribonucleoside diphosphates by a radical-mediated "spin-center shift" (SCS) mechanism. Alcohols, however, remain underused as alkylating agents in synthetic chemistry due to their low reactivity in two-electron pathways. We report herein an enantioselective α-benzylation of aldehydes using alcohols as alkylating agents based on the mechanistic principle of spin-center shift. This strategy harnesses the dual activation modes of photoredox and organocatalysis, engaging the alcohol by SCS and capturing the resulting benzylic radical with a catalytically generated enamine. Mechanistic studies provide evidence for SCS as a key elementary step, identify the origins of competing reactions, and enable improvements in chemoselectivity by rational photocatalyst design.

The synthesis of the halogenated picolin- and isonicotinalides (3) and (4) via metallation (n-BuLi) of the anilides (1) and (2) and then the reaction of the generated bis-lithiated anilides with halogenating agents (CCl3-CCl3, CH2Br-CH2Br, I2) followed by subsequent acidic hydrolysis of (3) and (4), as a way of regiospecific transformation of picoline and isonicotine acids into their C3-halogenated derivatives, is described.
