Abstract
This work describes a novel and practical method for the Cu-catalyzed C(sp3)-C(sp2) cross-coupling of alkylsilyl peroxides with arylboronic acids. The reductive cleavage of the O-O bond of alkylsilyl peroxides and the desired cross-coupling reactions to afford alkyl-substituted aromatic rings proceed smoothly at room temperature promoted by simple Cu-based catalysts and do not require activation by visible light. The results of mechanistic investigations support a radical-mediated C(sp3)-C(sp2) bond formation via β-scission of the alkoxy radicals generated from the alkylsilyl peroxides.

Abstract
Radical-radical couplings are mostly nearly diffusion-controlled processes. Therefore, the selective cross-coupling of two different radicals is challenging and not a synthetically valuable transformation. However, if the radicals have different lifetimes and if they are generated at equal rates, cross-coupling will become the dominant process. This high cross-selectivity is based on a kinetic phenomenon called the persistent radical effect (PRE). In this Review, an explanation of the PRE supported by simulations of simple model systems is provided. Radical stabilities are discussed within the context of their lifetimes, and various examples of PRE-mediated radical-radical couplings in synthesis are summarized. It is shown that the PRE is not restricted to the coupling of a persistent with a transient radical. If one coupling partner is longer-lived than the other transient radical, the PRE operates and high cross-selectivity is achieved. This important point expands the scope of PRE-mediated radical chemistry. The Review is divided into two parts, namely 1) the coupling of persistent or longer-lived organic radicals and 2) "radical-metal crossover reactions"; here, metal-centered radical species and more generally longer-lived transition-metal complexes that are able to react with radicals are discussed-a field that has flourished recently.

Abstract
A transition metal catalyzed alkylation with an alkyl halide is one of the most difficult reactions to achieve, because of the difficult oxidative addition of an alkyl-halogen bond to a metal, and the tendency of the resulting alkylmetal intermediate to undergo a β-hydride elimination reaction to give an olefin. In this review, we discuss hybrid reaction systems involving Cu catalyzed combination of radicals and organometallic species, which enable facile alkylation reactions to construct C-C and C-heteroatom bonds. This paper highlights recent progress in arylation, alkenylation, alkynylation, cyclization, addition and introduction of heteroatoms via these hybrid reaction systems.

Abstract
A novel and easily accessible MN(SiMe3)2 (M = Li or Na)/Cs2CO3 co-catalyzed benzylation of in situ generated N-(trimethylsilyl) aldimines with toluene derivatives has been successfully developed. The catalyst exhibits high chemoselectivity for deprotonation of toluenes at the benzylic position. The utility of this system is exemplified by the one-pot synthesis of a diverse array of bioactive 1,2-diarylethylamines with excellent efficiency and broad functional group tolerance.

Abstract
The reaction of readily available and bench-stable N-alkoxypyridinium salts with arylboronic and vinylboronic acids afforded δ-aryl and δ-vinyl alcohols, respectively, in the presence of fac-Ir(ppy)3 and Cu(OTf)2 dual catalysts. The reaction takes place through a domino process involving the reductive generation of alkoxyl radicals, 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (1,5-HAT) and the copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of the resulting translocated carbon radicals with boronic acids. Complementary to the Minisci reaction, this method allows for the arylation of nucleophilic alkyl radicals with both electron-rich and electron-poor arenes under mild reaction conditions.

Abstract
The asymmetric cross-coupling reaction is developed as a straightforward strategy toward 1,1-diaryl alkanes, which are a key skeleton in a series of natural products and bioactive molecules in recent years. Here we report an enantioselective benzylic C(sp3)−H bond arylation via photoredox/nickel dual catalysis. Sterically hindered chiral biimidazoline ligands are designed for this asymmetric cross-coupling reaction. Readily available alkyl benzenes and aryl bromides with various functional groups tolerance can be easily and directly transferred to useful chiral 1,1-diaryl alkanes including pharmaceutical intermediates and bioactive molecules. This reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions without the use of external redox reagents. Chiral 1,1-diaryl alkanes are important targets in pharmaceutical industry. Here, the authors report report a redox-neutral enantioselective benzylic C−H bond arylation via photoredox/nickel dual catalysis accessing chiral 1,1-diarylalkane compounds under mild conditions.

Abstract
An unprecedented benzylic C-H functionalization of methyl arenes across unactivated alkenes is presented. In the presence of MnCl2·4H2O and di- tert-butyl peroxide, N-allyl anilines underwent benzylation/cyclization cascade to give benzylated indolines, which are a previously unmet synthetic goal. This protocol features simple operation, broad substrate scope, and great exo selectivity.

Abstract
A novel enantioselective copper-catalyzed arylation of benzylic C-H bonds, using alkylarenes as a limiting reagent, has been developed. A chiral bisoxazoline ligand bearing an acetate ester moiety plays a key role in both the reactivity and enantioselectivity of the reaction. The reaction provides efficient access to various chiral 1,1-diarylalkanes in good yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities, and displays excellent functional-group tolerance.

Abstract
A nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of toluene derivatives with both aryl bromides and chlorides using a NIXANTPHOS-ligated nickel(II) complex has been developed. The key factor to success is proposed to be the catalyst activation of toluene by a cation-π complex, enabling methyl arenes (p Ka ≈ 43) to be deprotonated with the relatively mild base NaN(SiMe3)2. This method facilitates access to a variety of sterically and electronically diverse hetero- and nonheteroaryl-containing diarylmethanes.

Abstract
Among halogenated aromatics, iodoarenes are unique in their ability to produce the bench-stable halogen(III) form. Earlier, such iodine(III) centers were shown to enable C-H functionalization ortho to iodine via halogen-centered rearrangement. The broader implications of this phenomenon are explored by testing the extent of an unusual iodane-directed para C-H benzylation, as well as by developing an efficient C-H coupling with sulfonyl-substituted allylic silanes. Through the combination of the one-shot nature of the coupling event and the iodine retention, multisubstituted arenes can be prepared by sequentially engaging up to three aromatic C-H sites. This type of iodine-based iterative synthesis will serve as a tool for the formation of value-added aromatic cores.

Abstract
A dual catalytic protocol for the direct arylation of non-activated C(sp3 )-H bonds has been developed. Upon photochemical excitation, the excited triplet state of a diaryl ketone photosensitizer abstracts a hydrogen atom from an aliphatic C-H bond. This inherent reactivity was exploited for the generation of benzylic radicals which subsequently enter a nickel catalytic cycle, accomplishing the benzylic arylation.

Abstract
Copper is one of the most abundant and less toxic transition metals. Nature takes advantage of the bioavailability and rich redox chemistry of Cu to carry out oxygenase and oxidase organic transformations using O2 (or H2O2) as oxidant. Inspired by the reactivity of these Cu-dependent metalloenzymes, chemists have developed synthetic protocols to functionalize organic molecules under enviormentally benign conditions. Copper also promotes other transformations usually catalyzed by 4d and 5d transition metals (Pd, Pt, Rh, etc.) such as nitrene insertions or C-C and C-heteroatom coupling reactions. In this review, we summarized the most relevant research in which copper promotes or catalyzes the functionalization of organic molecules, including biological catalysis, bioinspired model systems, and organometallic reactivity. The reaction mechanisms by which these processes take place are discussed in detail.

Abstract
Functionalized β-lactams are highly important motifs in synthetic chemistry. We report an efficient and novel approach to the synthesis of β-lactams via a copper(i)-catalyzed cascade process involving C(benzyl)-H radical abstraction, intermolecular alkene addition, and intramolecular amination reaction. Variously substituted alkenes were synthesized from vinylacetic acid, leading to the corresponding β-lactams in moderate to good yields. Preliminary studies indicate that the reaction undergoes a free radical mechanism via a Cu(i)/Cu(ii)/Cu(iii) catalytic cycle.

Abstract
Di(hetero)arylmethane is a unique structural motif for natural and synthetic functional molecules. To date, it remains challenging to functionalize the diaryl methyl sp3 carbon-hydrogen bond directly in an enantioselective manner. This is likely due to the relatively inert nature of the carbon-hydrogen bond and the difficult enantiofacial discrimination of two sterically similar aryl substituents. Here we disclose an N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed direct oxidative coupling of enals and di(hetero)arylmethanes. Our method allows for highly enantioselective transformation of diaryl methanes and quick access to benzimidazole fused lactams.

Abstract
A radical relay strategy has been developed to enable selective δ C–H arylation. The approach employs a chiral copper catalyst, which serves the dual roles of generating an N-centered radical to promote intramolecular H-atom transfer, and then intercepting a distal C-centered radical for C–C bond formation with (hetero)aryl boronic acids.
A Cu-catalyzed strategy has been developed that harnesses a radical relay mechanism to intercept a distal C-centered radical for C–C bond formation. This approach enables selective δ C–H (hetero)arylation of sulfonamides via intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) by an N-centered radical. The radical relay is both initiated and terminated by a Cu catalyst, which enables incorporation of arenes and heteroarenes by cross-coupling with boronic acids. The broad scope and utility of this catalytic method for δ C–H arylation is shown, along with mechanistic probes for selectivity of the HAT mechanism. A catalytic, asymmetric variant is also presented, as well as a method for accessing 1,1-diaryl-pyrrolidines via iterative δ C–H functionalizations.

Abstract
An original metal-free procedure for the synthesis of biarylmethanes is disclosed herein. The reactions occur with high selectivity starting from aryl iodides and benzylic ketones in the presence of superbasic media (CsOH/DMSO). This procedure allows a straightforward access to a wide range of biarylmethane derivatives substituted with electron-withdrawing and -donating substituents.

Abstract
A method for direct cross coupling between unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds and chloroformates has been accomplished via nickel and photoredox catalysis. A diverse range of feedstock chemicals, such as (a)cyclic alkanes and toluenes, along with late-stage intermediates, undergo intermolecular C-C bond formation to afford esters under mild conditions using only 3 equiv of the C-H partner. Site selectivity is predictable according to bond strength and polarity trends that are consistent with the intermediacy of a chlorine radical as the hydrogen atom-abstracting species.

Abstract
The installation of trifluoromethyl groups has become an essential step across a number of industries such as agrochemicals, drug discovery, and materials. Consequently, the rapid introduction of this critical functional group in a predictable fashion would benefit current practitioners in those fields. This communication describes a mild trifluoromethylation of benzylic C-H bonds with high selectivity for the least hindered hydrogen atom. The reaction provides monotrifluoromethylation and proceeds in an environmentally friendly acetone/water solvent system. The method can be used to install benzylic trifluoromethyl groups on highly functionalized drug molecules.

Abstract
A method to directly arylate toluene derivatives with aryl bromides to generate diarylmethanes, which are important building blocks in drug discovery, is described. In this method, KN(SiMe3)2 in combination with a (NIXANTPHOS)Pd catalyst accomplished the deprotonative activation of toluene derivatives to permit cross-coupling with aryl bromides. Good to excellent yields are obtained with a range of electron-rich to neutral aryl bromides. Both electron-rich and electron-poor toluene derivatives are well tolerated, and even 2-chlorotoluene performs well, providing a platform for introduction of additional functionalization. This discovery hinges on the use of a main group metal to activate toluene for deprotonation by means of a cation-π interaction, which is secured by a bimetallic K(NIXANTPHOS)Pd assembly. Mechanistic and computational studies support acidification of toluene derivatives by the K+-cation- π interaction, which may prove pertinent in the development of other, new reaction systems.

Abstract
Vinyl carbocations have been the subject of extensive experimental and theoretical studies over the past five decades. Despite this long history in chemistry, the utility of vinyl cations in chemical synthesis has been limited, with most reactivity studies focusing on solvolysis reactions or intramolecular processes. Here we report synthetic and mechanistic studies of vinyl cations generated through silylium-weakly coordinating anion catalysis. We find that these reactive intermediates undergo mild intermolecular carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions, including carbon-hydrogen (C-H) insertion into unactivated sp3 C-H bonds and reductive Friedel-Crafts reactions with arenes. Moreover, we conducted computational studies of these alkane C-H functionalization reactions and discovered that they proceed through nonclassical, ambimodal transition structures. This reaction manifold provides a framework for the catalytic functionalization of hydrocarbons using simple ketone derivatives.

Abstract
The direct transformation of C-H bonds into diverse functional groups represents one of the most atom- and step-economical strategies for organic synthesis and has received substantial attention over the last few decades. Despite recent advances, asymmetric C-H bond functionalizations are less developed, especially asymmetric oxidations of sp3 C-H bonds. Inspired by enzyme (e.g., P450) catalysis, chemists have made great efforts to develop non-enzymatic systems for enantioselective oxidations of sp3 C-H bonds. However, the involvement of highly reactive radical intermediates makes enantioselective transformations extremely challenging. In this Account, we present our recent studies on the enantioselective induction of prochiral benzylic radicals using a chiral bisoxazoline (Box)/Cu catalytic system. This reaction system was developed on the basis of our extensive studies of copper-catalyzed intermolecular alkene difunctionalizations, such as azidotrifluoromethylations, trifluoromethylcyanations, and trifluoromethylarylations. In these reactions, the proposed catalytic cycle starts from the oxidation of the Cu(I) species by the activated Togni-I reagent (via a Lewis acid/base interaction with a silyl reagent or arylboronic acid) through a single electron transfer process. The generated CF3 radical can efficiently add to the alkene, and the resultant carbon-centered radical is subsequently trapped by an active Cu(II) species bearing a nucleophile (e.g., an N3, CN, or Ar moiety) to form a new C-heteroatom or C-C bond and regenerate the Cu(I) catalyst. Kinetic studies of the trifluoromethylarylation of alkenes support a Cu(I/II/III) catalytic cycle in which the carbon radical reacts with the Cu(II) species to form a highly reactive Cu(III) intermediate and its reductive elimination contributes to the final bond formation. This assumption inspired us to explore asymmetric radical transformations by introducing chiral ligands. Enantioselective cyanations and arylations of benzylic radicals have been demonstrated in the presence of chiral Box/Cu(I) catalysts, and a series of asymmetric difunctionalizations of styrenes have been successfully achieved. In addition, by means of the same benzylic radical trapping process, enantioselective decarboxylative cyanations have been demonstrated using a cooperative photocatalysis and copper catalysis system. Compared with radical addition and decarboxylative processes, hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) provides direct and facile access to benzylic radicals. By using bisbenzenesulfonimidyl radical for HAA, our group has developed an enantioselective cyanation of benzylic C-H bonds via a copper-catalyzed radical relay, and excellent reactivity and enantioselectivity were achieved in the presence of chiral Box/Cu(I) catalysts. In addition, a regioselective benzylic C-H bond arylation proceeding through a similar process was also developed, providing simple access to 1,1-diarylalkanes. Notably, alkyl arenes were used as the limiting reagent in these reactions, which allowed the late-stage functionalization of sp3 C-H bonds in complex molecules, including natural products, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals.

Abstract
The construction of an aryl ketone structural unit by means of catalytic carbon–carbon coupling reactions represents the state-of-the-art in organic chemistry. Herein we achieved the direct deoxygenative ketone synthesis in aqueous solution from readily available aromatic carboxylic acids and alkenes, affording structurally diverse ketones in moderate to good yields. Visible-light photoredox catalysis enables the direct deoxygenation of acids as acyl sources with triphenylphosphine and represents a distinct perspective on activation. The synthetic robustness is supported by the late-stage modification of several pharmaceutical compounds and complex molecules. This ketone synthetic strategy is further applied to the synthesis of the drug zolpidem in three steps with 50% total yield and a concise construction of cyclophane-braced 18–20 membered macrocycloketones. It represents not only the advancement for the streamlined synthesis of aromatic ketones from feedstock chemicals, but also a photoredox radical activation mode beyond the redox potential of carboxylic acids. Synthesis of aryl ketones can be generally achieved via C–C coupling strategies. Here, the authors show a deoxygenative coupling of carboxylic acids and alkenes enabled by photoredox catalysis and report a wide scope of products, including bioactive and macrocyclic ketones.

Abstract
Amines are fundamental motifs in bioactive natural products and pharmaceuticals. Using simple toluene derivatives, a one-pot aminobenzylation of aldehydes is introduced that provides rapid access to amines. Simply combining benzaldehydes, toluenes, NaN(SiMe3)2, and additive Cs(O2CCF3) (0.35 equiv.) generates a diverse array of 1,2-diarylethylamine derivatives (36 examples, 56-98% yield). Furthermore, suitably functionalized 1,2-diarylethylamines were transformed into 2-aryl-substituted indoline derivatives via Buchwald-Hartwig amination. It is proposed that the successful deprotonation of toluene by MN(SiMe3)2 is facilitated by cation-π interactions between the arene and the group(I) cation that acidify the benzylic C-Hs.
