Abstract
A novel approach to the dearomative allylboration of ketones with benzo[b]thiophenylmethyl boronic acids has been developed. By leveraging the inherent reactivity of the boronic acid unit, this process occurs under mild reaction conditions without the need for a catalyst, leading to the efficient formation of homoallylic tertiary alcohols accompanied by the construction of three-dimensional sulfur-containing alicyclic scaffolds in high yields with excellent stereoselectivities.

Abstract
We herein reported a novel photoredox-catalyzed three-component alkylarylation of vinyl arenes with alkylboronic pinacol esters (APEs) and cyanoarenes via radical addition/cross-coupling to construct 1,1-diarylalkanes. In this transformation, alkyl radicals were easily available by visible-light-induced oxidative N-H cleavage of morpholine, which used APEs as a radical precursor. Furthermore, this protocol exhibited a broad substrate scope, enabling various styrenes, APEs, and cyanoarenes, as well as bioactive molecule derivatives.

Abstract
This research article uses density functional theory (DFT) to study photoinduced borylation. This work examined the electron donor-acceptor complex (EDA) of bis(catecholato)diboron with different redox-active leaving groups and bis(pinacol)diboron with aryl N-hydroxyphthalimide. The results of these DFT studies show the complex ratio of B2cat2 and N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) should be 1 : 2 which is consistent with the experimental results in the literature. We further proposed a reaction mechanism and calculated the energies associated with each step.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing demand for drug design approaches that incorporate a higher number of sp3-hybridized carbons, necessitating the development of innovative cross-coupling strategies to reliably introduce aliphatic fragments. Here, we present a powerful approach for the light-mediated B-alkyl Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling between alkyl boranes and aryl bromides. Alkyl boranes were easily generated via hydroboration from readily available alkenes, exhibiting excellent regioselectivity and enabling the selective transfer of a diverse range of primary alkyl fragments onto the arene ring under photocatalytic conditions. This methodology eliminates the need for expensive catalytic systems and sensitive organometallic compounds, operating efficiently at room temperature within just 30 min. We further demonstrate the translation of the present protocol to continuous-flow conditions, enhancing scalability, safety, and overall efficiency of the method. This versatile approach offers significant potential for accelerating drug discovery efforts by enabling the introduction of complex aliphatic fragments in a straightforward and reliable manner.

Abstract
We report a Cu-catalyzed oxidative coupling of aliphatic amines with benzylic and aliphatic boronic esters to give high value alkyl amines, products found widely in applications from medicinal chemistry to materials science. This operationally simple reaction, which can be performed on gram scale, runs under mild conditions and exhibits broad functional group tolerance. The terminal oxidant of the reaction is O2 from the air, avoiding the need for additional chemical oxidants. Investigation into the reaction mechanism suggests that the boronic ester is activated by an aminyl radical, formed through oxidation of the amine by the Cu catalyst, to give a key alkyl radical intermediate. To demonstrate its utility and potential for late-stage functionalization, we showcase the method as the final step in the total synthesis of a TRPV1 antagonist.

Abstract
Modular functionalization enables versatile exploration of chemical space and has been broadly applied in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of aromatic scaffolds during drug discovery. Recently, the bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane (BCP) motif has increasingly received attention as a bioisosteric replacement of benzene rings due to its ability to improve the physicochemical properties of prospective drug candidates, but studying the SARs of C2-substituted BCPs has been heavily restricted by the need for multistep de novo synthesis of each analogue of interest. Here we report a programmable bis-functionalization strategy to enable late-stage sequential derivatization of BCP bis-boronates, opening up opportunities to explore the SARs of drug candidates possessing multisubstituted BCP motifs. Our approach capitalizes on the inherent chemoselectivity exhibited by BCP bis-boronates, enabling highly selective activation and functionalization of bridgehead (C3)-boronic pinacol esters (Bpin), leaving the C2-Bpin intact and primed for subsequent derivatization. These selective transformations of both BCP bridgehead (C3) and bridge (C2) positions enable access to C1,C2-disubstituted and C1,C2,C3-trisubstituted BCPs that encompass previously unexplored chemical space.

Abstract
With cyanopyridines and alkyl bromides as coupling partners, an electrochemically driven C4-selective decyanoalkylation has been established to access diverse 4-alkylpyridines in one step. The reaction proceeds through the single electron reduction/radical-radical coupling tandem process under mild electrolytic conditions, achieving the cleavage of the C(sp2)-CN bond and the formation of C(sp3)-C(sp2). The practicality of this protocol is illustrated by no sacrificial anodes, a broad substrate scope, and gram-scale synthesis.

Abstract
α-Pyridyl tertiary amino acids have potential pharmaceutical applications because of their structural features. However, their synthesis is still highly limited. Herein, we report a straightforward approach for the electrochemical synthesis of tertiary α-substituted amino acid derivatives via three-component reductive coupling. Using gaseous ammonia as both the N and H source, the α-keto ester reacts directly with 4-CN-pyridine. The application of scandium catalysis is the key for achieving chemoselectivity among various side reaction pathways.

α-Halogenated boronic esters are versatile building blocks that can be diversified into a wide variety of polyfunctionalized molecules. However, their synthetic potential has been hampered by limited preparation methods. Herein, we report a visible light-induced C-H bromination reaction of readily available benzyl boronic esters. This method features high yields, mild conditions, simple operation, and good functional group tolerance. The analogous chlorides and iodides can be accessed via Finkelstein reaction. Synthesis of halogenated geminal diborons has also been demonstrated.

Abstract
We report the development and characterization of a library of Ir(III) photocatalysts capable of undergoing spin-forbidden excitation (SFE) under orange light irradiation (595 nm). These catalysts were successfully applied to the construction of synthetically valuable C(sp2)-C(sp3) bonds inaccessible with existing methods of low-energy light-driven dual nickel/photoredox catalysis, demonstrating the synthetic utility of this photocatalyst family. The photocatalysts are capable of accessing both oxidatively and reductively activated coupling partners, illustrated through deaminative arylation and potassium alkyl trifluoroborate cross-coupling reactions with aryl halides. We demonstrate diverse substrate scopes of both cross-coupling paradigms under mild conditions in the first example of low-energy light-driven C(sp2)-C(sp3) metallaphotoredox coupling.

Abstract
Operationally simple strategies to assemble boron containing organic frameworks are highly enabling in organic synthesis. While conventional retrosynthetic logic has engendered many platforms focusing on the direct formation of C-B bonds, α-boryl radicals have recently reemerged as versatile open-shell alternatives to access organoborons via adjacent C-C bond formation. Direct light-enabled α-activation is currently contingent on photo- or transition metal-catalysis activation to efficiently generate radical species. Here, we disclose a facile activation of α-halo boronic esters using only visible light and a simple Lewis base to enable homolytic scission. Intermolecular addition to styrenes facilitates the rapid construction of highly versatile E-allylic boronic esters. The simplicity of activation permits the strategic merger of this construct with selective energy transfer catalysis to enable the complimentary stereodivergent synthesis of Z-allylic boronic esters.

Abstract
Alkylboronic pinacol esters (APEs) are highly versatile reagents in organic synthesis. However, the direct generation of alkyl radicals from commonly used, bench-stable APEs has not been well explored. In this communication, alkyl radical generation from APEs through reaction with aminyl radicals is reported. The aminyl radicals are readily generated by visible-light-induced homolytic cleavage of the N-N bond in N-nitrosamines, and C radical generation occurs through nucleohomolytic substitution at boron. As an application, the highly efficient photochemical radical alkyloximation of alkenes with APEs and N-nitrosamines under mild conditions is presented.

[PMID: 36507180 PMCID: PMC9683010 DOI: 10.1039/d2sc05521j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite the ubiquity of alkylboronic acids in organic synthesis, their utility as alkyl radical precursors in visible-light-induced photocatalytic reactions is limited by their high oxidation potentials. In this study, we demonstrated that an inorganophosphorus compound can modulate the oxidation potentials of alkylboronic acids so that they can act as alkyl radical precursors. We propose a mechanism based on the results of fluorescence quenching experiments, electrochemical experiments, 11B and 31P NMR spectroscopy, and other techniques. In addition, we describe a simple and reliable alkylation method that has good functional group tolerance and can be used for direct C-B chlorination, cyanation, vinylation, alkynylation, and allylation, as well as late-stage functionalization of derivatized drug molecules. Notably, alkylboronic acids can be selectively activated in the presence of a boronic pinacol ester.

Abstract
Silyl radicals are valuable species to prepare diverse organosilicon compounds. However, unlike stable tertiary silyl radicals, the use of secondary silyl radicals has been problematic in silylation reactions due to their instability. Here, we present photocatalytic in situ generations of both secondary and tertiary silyl radicals by one-electron oxidation of ate complexes, formed from silylboranes and an alkoxide cocatalyst, achieving highly efficient hydrosilylation and deuterosilylation of electron-rich alkenes and dienes as well as electron-deficient alkenes. The theoretical studies show that anionic borate complexes activated with an alkoxide have lower oxidation potentials than neutral borate complexes, allowing the formation of secondary silyl radicals. The calculated reaction pathways reveal that anionic conditions using the conjugate acid-base pair of NaOEt (cocatalyst) and EtOH (solvent) are the key to expanding the scope of silyl radicals and alkenes.

Abstract
N-heterospirocycles are interesting structural units found in both natural products and medicinal compounds but have relatively few reliable methods for their synthesis. Here, we enlist the photocatalytic generation of N-centered radicals to construct β-spirocyclic pyrrolidines from N-allylsulfonamides and alkenes. A variety of β-spirocyclic pyrrolidines have been constructed, including drug derivatives, in moderate to very good yields. Further derivatization of the products has also been demonstrated as has a viable scale-up procedure, making use of flow chemistry techniques.

Abstract
The enantioselective pyridinylation is important for providing chiral compounds bearing heterocycles of pharmaceutical interests. 4-CN-pyrinde is extensively applied in the radical pyridinylation reaction, however, its' enantioselective application is highly challenging. To achieve this goal, we propose an electrochemical catalytic activation of 4-CN-pyridine with a chiral transition metal complex instead of direct cathodic reduction. The chiral catalyst acts as the electron mediator and the transition metal catalysis in turn. The radical species from 4-CN-pyridine is captured via radical rebound by chiral catalyst, and undergoes enantioselective pyridinylation reaction. Here, we show the first method for catalytic asymmetric allylic 4-pyridinylation reactions using 4-CN-pyridine under electrochemical conditions.

Abstract
Recently the fruitful merger of organoboron chemistry and photocatalysis has come to the forefront of organic synthesis, resulting in the development of new technologies to access complex (non)borylated frameworks. Central to the success of this combination is control of boron hybridisation. Contingent on the photoactivation mode, boron as its neutral planar form or tetrahedral boronate can be used to regulate reactivity. This Minireview highlights the current state of the art in photocatalytic processes utilising organoboron compounds, paying particular attention to the role of boron hybridisation for the target transformation.

Abstract
Metallaphotoredox catalysis is a powerful and versatile synthetic platform that enables cross-couplings under mild conditions without the need for noble metals. Its growing adoption in drug discovery has translated into an increased interest in sustainable and scalable reaction conditions. Here, we report a continuous-flow approach to metallaphotoredox catalysis using a heterogeneous catalyst that combines the function of a photo- and a nickel catalyst in a single material. The catalyst is embedded in a packed-bed reactor to combine reaction and (catalyst) separation in one step. The use of a packed bed simplifies the translation of optimized batch reaction conditions to continuous flow, as the only components present in the reaction mixture are the substrate and a base. The metallaphotoredox cross-coupling of sulfinates with aryl halides was used as a model system. The catalyst was shown to be stable, with a very low decrease of the yield (≈1% per day) during a continuous experiment over seven days, and to be effective for C–O arylations when carboxylic acids are used as nucleophile instead of sulfinates.

Abstract
Utilizing quinoline as a mild, catalytic additive, broadly applicable conditions for the Ni/photoredox-catalyzed C(sp2)-C(sp3) cross-coupling of (hetero)aryl bromides and alkyl pinacolboronate esters were developed, which can be applied to both batch and flow reactions. In addition to primary benzylic nucleophiles, both stabilized and nonstabilized secondary alkyl boronic esters are effective coupling partners. Density functional theory calculations suggest that alkyl radical generation occurs from an alkyl-B(pin)-quinoline complex, which may proceed via an energy transfer process.

Abstract
The exceptional versatility of sulfones has been extensively exploited in organic synthesis across several decades. Since the first demonstration in 2005 that sulfones can participate in Pd-catalysed Suzuki-Miyaura type reactions, tremendous advances in catalytic desulfitative functionalizations have opened a new area of research with burgeoning activity in recent years. This emerging field is displaying sulfone derivatives as a new class of substrates enabling catalytic C-C and C-X bond construction. In this review, we will discuss new facets of sulfone reactivity toward further expanding the flexibility of C-S bonds, with an emphasis on key mechanistic features. The inherent challenges confronting the development of these strategies will be presented, along with the potential application of this chemistry for the synthesis of natural products. Taken together, this knowledge should stimulate impactful improvements on the use of sulfones in catalytic desulfitative C-C and C-X bond formation. A main goal of this article is to bring this technology to the mainstream catalysis practice and to serve as inspiration for new perspectives in catalytic transformations.

Abstract
Introducing the novel concept of amino radical transfer (ART) enables the use of easily accessible and commercially available alkyl boronic esters as cross-coupling partners for aryl halides in dual photoredox/nickel catalysis mediated by visible light. Activation of otherwise photochemically innocent boronic esters by radicals generated from primary or secondary alkylamines gives rise to an outstanding functional group tolerance in a mild, fast, and air-stable reaction. As shown in more than 50 examples including unprotected alcohols, amines, and carboxylic acids, this reaction allows quick access to relevant scaffolds for organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. In comparison with existing methods for C(sp2)-C(sp3) couplings an extraordinary generality could be realized via the ART concept, employing a single set of optimized reaction conditions. Due to its selectivity, the transformation can also be used for late-stage functionalization, as demonstrated with three exemplary syntheses of drug molecules. Furthermore, the successful one-to-one scalability of this reaction up to gram scale without the necessity of any further precautions or flow systems is demonstrated.

Abstract
Visible-light-driven photocatalytic reductive azaarylation has been widely used to construct the important imine-containing azaarene derivatives. In addition to the direct use of various commercially available cyanoazaarenes as feedstocks, the synthetic advantages include precise regioselectivity, high efficiency, mild reaction conditions, and good functional group tolerance. However, although many efficient reductive azaarylation methods have been established, the example of an enantioselective manner is still unmet, which most likely can be ascribed to the highly reactive radical coupling as the key step of forming stereocenters. Exploring the feasibility of enantiocontrol thus constitutes an attractive but highly challenging task. Here, we demonstrate that chiral hydrogen-bonding/photosensitizer catalysis is a viable platform as it enables the realization of the first enantioselective manifold. A variety of acyclic and cyclic enones as the reaction partners are compatible with the dual catalyst system, leading to a wide array of valuable enantioenriched azaarene variants with high yields and ees. Regulating the types of chiral catalysts represents one of the important manners to success, in which several readily accessible Cinchona alkaloid-derived bifunctional catalysts are introduced in asymmetric photochemical reactions.

Abstract
1,2-Bis-boronic esters are useful synthetic intermediates particularly as the two boronic esters can be selectively functionalized. Usually, the less hindered primary boronic ester reacts, but herein, we report a coupling reaction that enables the reversal of this selectivity. This is achieved through the formation of a boronate complex with an electron-rich aryllithium which, in the presence of an electron-deficient aryl nitrile, leads to the formation of an electron donor-acceptor complex. Following visible-light photoinduced electron transfer, a primary radical is generated which isomerizes to the more stable secondary radical before radical-radical coupling with the arene radical-anion, giving β-aryl primary boronic ester products. The reactions proceed under catalyst-free conditions. This method also allows stereodivergent coupling of cyclic cis-1,2-bis-boronic esters to provide trans-substituted products, complementing the selectivity observed in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction.

Photo-induced trifunctionalization of bromostyrenes via remote radical migration reactions of tetracoordinate boron species. Nat Commun 2022; 13:1784.

Abstract
Tetracoordinate boron species have emerged as radical precursors via deboronation by photo-induced single electron transfer (SET) pathway. These reactions usually produce an alkyl radical and boron-bound species, and the valuable boron species are always discarded as a by-product. Given the importance of boron species, it will be very attractive if the two parts could be incorporated into the eventual products. Herein we report a photo-catalyzed strategy in which in situ generated tetracoordinated boron species decomposed into both alkyl radicals and boron species under visible light irradiation, due to the pre-installation of a vinyl group on the aromatic ring, the newly generated alkyl radical attacks the vinyl group while leaving the boron species on ipso-position, then both radical part and boron moiety are safely incorporated into the final product. Tertiary borons, secondary borons, gem-diborons as well as 1,2-diborons, and versatile electrophiles are all well tolerated under this transformation, of note, ortho-, meta- and para-bromostyrenes all demonstrated good capabilities. The reaction portraits high atom economy, broad substrate scope, and diversified valuable products with tertiary or quaternary carbon center generated, with diborons as substrates, Csp2-B and Csp3-B are established simultaneously, which are precious synthetic building blocks in chemical synthesis. Tetracoordinate boron species are common radical precursors in organic synthesis, but the boron species are discarded as by-products. Herein the authors report a strategy to incorporate both the alkyl moiety and boron species into the eventual products, yielding organoboron compounds.

Abstract
A new strategy for the direct cleavage of the C(sp3)-OH bond has been developed via activation of free alcohols with neutral diphenyl boryl radical generated from sodium tetraphenylborate under mild visible light photoredox conditions. This strategy has been verified by cross-electrophile coupling of free alcohols and carbon dioxide for the synthesis of carboxylic acids. Direct transformation of a range of primary, secondary, and tertiary benzyl alcohols to acids has been achieved. Control experiments and computational studies indicate that activation of alcohols with neutral boryl radical undergoes homolysis of the C(sp3)-OH bond, generating alkyl radicals. After reducing the alkyl radical into carbon anion under photoredox conditions, the following carboxylation with CO2 affords the coupling product.

Abstract
Photoinduced chemical transformations have received in recent years a tremendous amount of attention, providing a plethora of opportunities to synthetic organic chemists. However, performing a photochemical transformation can be quite a challenge because of various issues related to the delivery of photons. These challenges have barred the widespread adoption of photochemical steps in the chemical industry. However, in the past decade, several technological innovations have led to more reproducible, selective, and scalable photoinduced reactions. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview of these exciting technological advances, including flow chemistry, high-throughput experimentation, reactor design and scale-up, and the combination of photo- and electro-chemistry.

Abstract
Redox processes are at the heart of synthetic methods that rely on either electrochemistry or photoredox catalysis, but how do electrochemistry and photoredox catalysis compare? Both approaches provide access to high energy intermediates (e.g., radicals) that enable bond formations not constrained by the rules of ionic or 2 electron (e) mechanisms. Instead, they enable 1e mechanisms capable of bypassing electronic or steric limitations and protecting group requirements, thus enabling synthetic chemists to disconnect molecules in new and different ways. However, while providing access to similar intermediates, electrochemistry and photoredox catalysis differ in several physical chemistry principles. Understanding those differences can be key to designing new transformations and forging new bond disconnections. This review aims to highlight these differences and similarities between electrochemistry and photoredox catalysis by comparing their underlying physical chemistry principles and describing their impact on electrochemical and photochemical methods.

Abstract
We present here a review of the photochemical and electrochemical applications of multi-site proton-coupled electron transfer (MS-PCET) in organic synthesis. MS-PCETs are redox mechanisms in which both an electron and a proton are exchanged together, often in a concerted elementary step. As such, MS-PCET can function as a non-classical mechanism for homolytic bond activation, providing opportunities to generate synthetically useful free radical intermediates directly from a wide variety of common organic functional groups. We present an introduction to MS-PCET and a practitioner's guide to reaction design, with an emphasis on the unique energetic and selectivity features that are characteristic of this reaction class. We then present chapters on oxidative N-H, O-H, S-H, and C-H bond homolysis methods, for the generation of the corresponding neutral radical species. Then, chapters for reductive PCET activations involving carbonyl, imine, other X═Y π-systems, and heteroarenes, where neutral ketyl, α-amino, and heteroarene-derived radicals can be generated. Finally, we present chapters on the applications of MS-PCET in asymmetric catalysis and in materials and device applications. Within each chapter, we subdivide by the functional group undergoing homolysis, and thereafter by the type of transformation being promoted. Methods published prior to the end of December 2020 are presented.

Abstract
The merger of photoredox catalysis with transition metal catalysis, termed metallaphotoredox catalysis, has become a mainstay in synthetic methodology over the past decade. Metallaphotoredox catalysis has combined the unparalleled capacity of transition metal catalysis for bond formation with the broad utility of photoinduced electron- and energy-transfer processes. Photocatalytic substrate activation has allowed the engagement of simple starting materials in metal-mediated bond-forming processes. Moreover, electron or energy transfer directly with key organometallic intermediates has provided novel activation modes entirely complementary to traditional catalytic platforms. This Review details and contextualizes the advancements in molecule construction brought forth by metallaphotocatalysis.

Abstract
In the pursuit of new pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, chemists in the life science industry require access to mild and robust synthetic methodologies to systematically modify chemical structures, explore novel chemical space, and enable efficient synthesis. In this context, photocatalysis has emerged as a powerful technology for the synthesis of complex and often highly functionalized molecules. This Review aims to summarize the published contributions to the field from the life science industry, including research from industrial-academic partnerships. An overview of the synthetic methodologies developed and strategic applications in chemical synthesis, including peptide functionalization, isotope labeling, and both DNA-encoded and traditional library synthesis, is provided, along with a summary of the state-of-the-art in photoreactor technology and the effective upscaling of photocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
Radical couplings of cyanopyridine radical anions represent a valuable technology for functionalizing pyridines, which are prevalent throughout pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials. Installing the cyano group, which facilitates the necessary radical anion formation and stabilization, is challenging and limits the use of this chemistry to simple cyanopyridines. We discovered that pyridylphosphonium salts, installed directly and regioselectively from C–H precursors, are useful alternatives to cyanopyridines in radical–radical coupling reactions, expanding the scope of this reaction manifold to complex pyridines. Methods for both alkylation and amination of pyridines mediated by photoredox catalysis are described. Additionally, we demonstrate late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals, highlighting an advantage of pyridylphosphonium salts over cyanopyridines. Cyanopyridines form dearomatized radical anions upon single-electron reduction and participate in photoredox coupling reactions. Pyridylphosphonium salts replicate that reactivity with a broader scope and increase the utility of these processes.![]()

Abstract
Considering the significance of pharmaceutically important heterocycles, efficient and highly versatile protocols for the functionalization of diverse heterocycles with easily accessible feedstock are crucial. Here, we have reported selective alkylation of quinoxalin-2(1H)-one with a broad class of hydrocarbons having different C(sp3)-H bonds with varying bond strengths using di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) as an alkoxyl radical mediator for hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). This dehydrogenative coupling approach utilizes feedstock chemicals such as cycloalkanes, cyclic ethers and alkyl arenes as coupling partners. This protocol exhibits good functional group compatibility and selectivity regarding both heterocycles and unactivated alkanes. Moreover, this methodology allows functionalization of relatively strong C-H bonds of adamantane and exclusive selectivity towards 3° C(sp3)-H bonds is observed. We also illustrate the applicability of this C(sp2)-H/C(sp3)-H cross-coupling for practical access to bioactive pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
The increasing importance of visible light photoredox catalysis as a powerful strategy
for the activation of small molecules require the development of new effective radical
sources and photocatalysts. The unique properties of organoboron compounds have contributed
significantly to the rapid progress of photocatalysis. Since the first work on the topic in
2005, many researchers have appreciated the role of boron-containing compounds in photocatalysis,
and this is reflected in several publications. In this review, we highlight the utility of
organoboron compounds in various photocatalytic reactions enabling the construction of carbon-
carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. The dual role of organoboron compounds in photocatalysis
is highlighted by their applications as reactants and as well as organic photocatalysts.

Abstract
Three-component carboamination of alkenes is of significant interest due to the ease by which functionalized amines can be produced from readily available chemical building blocks. Previously, a variety of carbon-centered radical precursors have been studied as the carbon components for this reaction, however, the use of general alkyl sources has remained as an unsolved challenge. Herein we present our efforts to develop an oxidative carboamination protocol that utilizes alkylboronic acids as carbon-centered radical precursors. The presented work demonstrates 34 examples, ranging from 17 to 88% yields, with a broad scope in vinylarenes, amines, and alkylboronic acids. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that a single-electron oxidation of the alkylboronic acid generates a carbon-centered radical intermediate that adds across the olefin followed by C-N bond formation via Cu-mediated inner-sphere or carbocation-mediated pathways.

Abstract
Herein we report a protocol for the direct visible-light-mediated alkenylation of alkyl boronic acids at room temperature without an external Lewis base as an activator, and we propose a mechanism involving benzenesulfinate activation of the alkyl boronic acids. The protocol permits the efficient functionalization of a broad range of cyclic and acyclic primary and secondary alkyl boronic acids with various alkenyl sulfones. We demonstrated its utility by preparing or functionalizing several pharmaceuticals and natural products.

Abstract
A process for achieving photocatalyzed tri- and difluoromethylation/cyclizations for constructing a series of tri- or difluoromethylated indole[2,1-a]isoquinoline derivatives is described. This protocol utilized an inexpensive organic photoredox catalyst and provided good yields. Moreover, the combination of continuous flow and photochemistry, designed to provide researchers with a unique green process, was also shown to be key to allowing the reaction to proceed (product yield of 83% in flow vs 0% in batch).

Abstract
In this paper, we report a mild and practical method for precise deuteration of aliphatic carboxylic acids by synergistic photoredox and HAT catalysis. The reaction delivers excellent D-incorporation (up to 99%) at predicted sites even in substrates bearing reactive C-H bonds or versatile functional groups. The use of a recirculation reactor with a peristaltic pump supports a scalable preparative ability (up to 50 mmol) under very mild reaction conditions. The practical and precise deuteration of readily available complex carboxylic acids makes this protocol promising for the preparation of deuterium-labelled compounds.

Abstract
A transition-metal-free method for the alkylation of gem-diborylalkanes with α,β-unsaturated ketones has been developed. It is demonstrated that the α-boryl radicals can be generated efficiently from gem-diborylalkanes with the aid of catechol and oxidants. The α-boryl radicals formed through such process can be engaged in conjugate addition reaction with α,β-unsaturated ketones. This transformation is a straightforward method for the synthesis of γ-borylketones.
