Abstract
Herein is the first example of photocatalytic cross-coupling of alkenes with aldehydes by a single catalyst without an external photosensitizer and any additives. Irradiation of the aromatic aldehyde and cobaloxime catalyst results in the formation of an acyl radical, which undergoes radical addition with alkene or indole and subsequently β-H elimination to afford alkenyl ketone. The reaction features cheap and readily available raw materials, a broad substrate scope, and mild conditions, even for late-stage derivatization of bioactive compounds.

Abstract
Direct conversion of hydrocarbons into amines represents an important and atom-economic goal in chemistry for decades. However, intermolecular cross-coupling of terminal alkenes with amines to form branched amines remains extremely challenging. Here, a visible-light and Co-dual catalyzed direct allylic C─H amination of alkenes with free amines to afford branched amines has been developed. Notably, challenging aliphatic amines with strong coordinating effect can be directly used as C─N coupling partner to couple with allylic C─H bond to form advanced amines with molecular complexity. Moreover, the reaction proceeds with exclusive regio- and chemoselectivity at more steric hinder position to deliver primary, secondary, and tertiary aliphatic amines with diverse substitution patterns that are difficult to access otherwise.

Abstract
Direct alkene C-H/N-H cross dehydrogenative coupling is an infrequent, highly challenging transformation. Herein, a photoredox radical-radical cross-coupling reaction between ketene dithioacetal as a persistent alkene radical cation and azole nitrogen center radical (NCR) was developed. This direct alkene amination proceeded through a synergistic photoredox and cobalt catalysis, with only H2 evolution. The reaction showed excellent tolerance and highly regio- and stereospecific manner, expanding the scope of C(sp2)-N construction methods and radical cross-coupling modes.

Abstract
An adaptable, sulfur-accelerated photoaerobic selenium-π-acid ternary catalyst system for the enantioselective allylic redox functionalization of simple, nondirecting alkenes is reported. In contrast to related photoredox catalytic methods, which largely depend on olefinic substrates with heteroatomic directing groups to unfold high degrees of stereoinduction, the current protocol relies on chiral, spirocyclic selenium-π-acids that covalently bind to the alkene moiety. The performance of this ternary catalytic method is demonstrated in the asymmetric, photoaerobic lactonization and cycloamination of enoic acids and unsaturated sulfonamides, respectively, leading to an averaged enantiomeric ratio (er) of 92:8. Notably, this protocol provides for the first time an asymmetric, catalytic entryway to pharmaceutically relevant 3-pyrroline motifs, which was used as a platform to access a 3,4-dihydroxyproline derivative in only seven steps with a 92:8 er.

Abstract
Enol ethers are essential synthetic frameworks and widely applied in organic synthesis; however, high regio- and stereo-selective access to enol ethers remains challenging. Herein, we report a titanium-catalyzed stereospecific anti-Markovnikov hydroalkoxylation reaction of alkynes for the synthesis of Z-enol ethers with excellent functional group tolerance and yields. Mechanistic studies showed that the titanium coordinates with the alkyne and then an oxygen anion attacks the π-bond of the alkyne from the backside to provide a trans-oxygen metallation intermediate, which accounts for the high Z-stereoselectivity. Furthermore, Z-enol ethers could be applied as a kind of synthon for late-stage transformations and gram-scale synthesis, which demonstrates their potential value in organic synthesis.

Abstract
The involvement of manganese radical for halogen atom transfer (XAT) reactions has been esteemed as one reliable method but encountered with limited catalytic models. In this paper, a novel bimetallic relay catalysis of Mn2 (CO)10 and cobaloxime has been developed for divergent dehydrogenative difluoroalkylation of alkenes using commercially available difluoroalkyl bromides. A wide range of structurally diverse terminal, cyclic and internal alkenes as well as tetrasubstituted alkenes are found to be good coupling partners to deliver difluoroalkylated allylic products and difluoromethylated cyclic products, accompanied with the production of H2 as the by-product. This bimetallic relay strategy features broad substrate scope, mild reaction conditions and excellent functional group compatibility. Its success represents an important step-forward to expedite the construction of a rich library of difluoroalkylated products.

Abstract
Herein, we report a blue-light-driven amination of C(sp2)-H bond of naphthoquinones and quinones with the N-H bond of primary and secondary amines for the synthesis of 2-amino-naphthoquinones and 2-amino-quinones. The coupling of naphthoquinones with a wide array of aliphatic, aromatic, chiral, primary, and secondary amines having electron donating (-CH3, -OCH3, -SCH3), withdrawing (-F, -Cl, -Br, -I), and CO2H, -OH, -NH2 groups with acidic protons selectively occurred to afford C-N coupled 2-amino-naphthoquinones in 60-99% yields and hydrogen gas as a byproduct in methanol solvent without using any additional reagents, additives, and oxidant under the blue light irradiation. Mechanistic insight by DFT computation, controlled experiments, kinetic isotopic effect, and substitution effect of the substrates suggest that the reaction proceeds by radical pathway in which naphthoquinone forms a highly oxidizing naphthoquinonyl biradical upon irradiation of blue light (457 nm). Consequently, electron transfer from electron-rich amine to an oxidizing naphthoquinonyl biradical leads to a naphthoquinonyl radical anion and aminyl radical cation, followed by proton transfer and delocalization leading to a carbon-centered naphthoquinonyl radical. The cross-coupling of naphthoquinonyl carbon-centered and aminyl nitrogen radicals forms a C-N bond, with subsequent elimination of hydrogen gas (which was also confirmed by GC-TCD), affording 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone under metal-, reagent-, base-, and oxidant-free conditions.

Abstract
Direct N-allylation of azoles with hydrogen evolution has been achieved through the synergistic combination of organic photocatalysis and cobalt catalysis. The protocol bypasses stoichiometric oxidants and prefunctionalization of alkenes and produces hydrogen (H2) as the byproduct. This transformation highlights high step- and atom-economy, high efficiency, and broad functional group tolerance for further derivatization, which opens a door for C-N bond formation that is valuable in heterocyclic chemistry.

Abstract
A new way to form fluorenones via the direct excitation of substrates instead of photocatalyst to activate the C(sp2 )-H bond under redox-neutral condition is reported. Our design relies on the photoexcited aromatic aldehyde intermediates that can be intercepted by cobaloxime catalyst through single electron transfer for following β-H elimination. The generation of acyl radical and successful interception by a metal catalyst cobaloxime avoid the use of a photocatalyst and stoichiometric external oxidants, affording a series of highly substituted fluorenones, including six-membered ketones, such as xanthone and thioxanthone derivatives in good to excellent yields, and with hydrogen as the only byproduct. This catalytic system features a readily available metal catalyst, mild reaction conditions and broad substrate scope, in which sunlight reaction and scale-up experiments by continuous-flow approach make the new methodology sustainable and amenable for potentially operational procedures.

Abstract
The favored production of one product over another is a major challenge in synthetic chemistry, reducing the formation of byproducts and enhancing atom efficacy. The formation of catalytic species that have differing reactivities based on the substrate being converted, has been targeted to selectively control reactions. Here, we report the production of photocatalytic self-assembled amphiphilic polymers, with either hydrophilic or hydrophobic microenvironments at the reactive center. Benzothiadiazole-based photocatalysts were polymerized into either the hydrophilic or the hydrophobic compartment of a diblock copolymer by RAFT polymerization. The difference in the reactivity of each microenvironment was dictated by the physical properties of the substrate. Stark differences in reactivity were observed for polar substrates, where a hydrophilic microenvironment was favored. Conversely, both microenvironments performed similarly for very hydrophobic substrates, showing that reagent partitioning is not the only factor that drives photocatalytic conversion. Furthermore, the use of secondary swelling solvents allowed an additional reagent exchange between the continuous phase and the heterogeneous photocatalyst, resulting in a significant 5-fold increase in conversion for a radical carbon-carbon coupling.

Abstract
A photoredox/cobalt dual catalytic procedure has been developed that allows benzoylation of olefins. Here the photoredox catalyst effects the decarboxylation of α-ketoacids to form benzoyl radicals. After addition of this radical to styrenes, the cobalt catalyst abstracts a H-atom. Hydrogen evolution from the putative cobalt hydride intermediate allows a Heck-like aroylation without the need for a stoichiometric oxidant. Mechanistic studies reveal that electronically different styrenes lead to a curved Hammett plot, thus suggesting a change in product-determining step in the catalytic mechanism.

Abstract
Traditionally, cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) leads to C-N bond formation under basic and oxidative conditions and is proposed to proceed via a two-electron bond formation mediated by carbenium ions. However, the formation of such high-energy intermediates is only possible in the presence of strong oxidants, which may lead to undesired side reactions and poor functional group tolerance. In this work we explore if oxidation under basic conditions allows the formation of three-electron bonds (resulting in "upconverted" highly-reducing radical-anions). The benefit of this "upconversion" process is in the ability to use milder oxidants (e. g., O2 ) and to avoid high-energy intermediates. Comparison of the two- and three-electron pathways using quantum mechanical calculations reveals that not only does the absence of a strong oxidant shut down two-electron pathways in favor of a three-electron path but, paradoxically, weaker oxidants react faster with the upconverted reductants by avoiding the inverted Marcus region for electron transfer.

Abstract
Endergonic photocatalysis is the use of light to perform catalytic reactions that are thermodynamically unfavourable. While photocatalysis has become a powerful tool in facilitating chemical transformations, the light-energy efficiency of these processes has not gathered much attention. Exergonic photocatalysis does not take full advantage of the light energy input, producing low-energy products and heat, whereas endergonic photocatalysis incorporates a portion of the photon energy into the reaction, yielding products that are higher in free energy than the reactants. Such processes can enable catalytic, atom-economic syntheses of reactive compounds from bench-stable materials. With respect to environmental friendliness and carbon neutrality, endergonic photocatalysis is also of interest to large-scale industrial manufacturing, where better energy efficiency, less waste and value addition are highly sought. We therefore assess here the thermochemistry of several classes of reported photocatalytic transformations to showcase current advances in endergonic photocatalysis and point to their industrial potential.

Abstract
Functionalization of carboranes in a vertex-specific manner is a perennial challenge. Here, we report a photocatalytic B-C coupling for the selective functionalization of carboranes at the boron site which is most distal to carbon. This reaction was achieved by the photo-induced decarboxylation of carborane carboxylic acids to generate boron vertex-centered carboranyl radicals. Theoretical calculations also demonstrate that the reaction more easily occurs at the boron site bearing higher electron density owing to the lower energy barrier for a single-electron transfer to generate a carboranyl radical. By using this strategy, a number of functionalized carboranes could be accessed through alkylation, alkenylation, and heteroarylation under mild conditions. Moreover, both a highly efficient blue emitter with a solid-state luminous efficiency of 42 % and a drug candidate for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) containing targeting and fluorine units were obtained.

Abstract
Due to its superior ability in controlling pharmaceutical activity, the installation of difluoromethyl (CF2H) functionality into organic molecules has been an area of intensive research. In this context, difluoromethylation of C-C π bonds mediated by a CF2H radical have been pursued as a central strategy to grant access to difluoromethylated hydrocarbons. However, early precedents necessitate the generation of oxidative chemical species that can limit the generality and utility of the reaction. We report here the successful implementation of radical hydrodifluoromethylation of unsaturated C-C bonds via an electroreductively triggered two-pronged approach. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest that the key distinction of the present strategy originates from the reconciliation of multiple redox processes under highly reducing electrochemical conditions. The reaction conditions can be chosen based on the electronic properties of the alkenes of interest, highlighting the hydrodifluoromethylation of both unactivated and activated alkenes. Notably, the reaction delivers geminal (bis)difluoromethylated products from alkynes in a single step by consecutive hydrodifluoromethylation, granting access to an underutilized 1,1,3,3-tetrafluoropropan-2-yl functional group. The late-stage hydrodifluoromethylation of densely functionalized pharmaceutical agents is also presented.

Abstract
Alkene-derived radical cations are versatile reactive intermediates and have been widely applied in the construction of complex functionalized molecules and cyclic systems for chemical synthesis. Therefore, the synthetic application of these alkene-derived radical cations represents a powerful and green tool that can be used to achieve the functionalization of alkenes partially because the necessity of stoichiometric external chemical oxidants and/or hazardous reaction conditions is eliminated. This review summarizes the recent advances in the synthetic applications of the electro-/photochemical alkene-derived radical cations, emphasizing the key single-electron oxidation steps of the alkenes, the scope and limitations of the substrates, and the related reaction mechanisms. Using electrocatalysis and/or photocatalysis, single electron transfer (SET) oxidation of the CC bonds in the alkenes occurs, generating the alkene-derived radical cations, which sequentially enables the functionalization of translocated radical cations to occur in two ways: the first involves direct reaction with a nucleophile/radical or two molecules of nucleophiles to realize hydrofunctionalization, difunctionalization and cyclization; and the second involves the transformation of the alkene-derived radical cations into carbon-centered radicals using a base followed by radical coupling or oxidative nucleophilic coupling.

Abstract
For more than 70 years, nitrogen-centered radicals have been recognized as potent synthetic intermediates. This review is a survey designed for use by chemists engaged in target-oriented synthesis. This review summarizes the recent paradigm shift in access to and application of N-centered radicals enabled by visible-light photocatalysis. This shift broadens and streamlines approaches to many small molecules because visible-light photocatalysis conditions are mild. Explicit attention is paid to innovative advances in N-X bonds as radical precursors, where X = Cl, N, S, O, and H. For clarity, key mechanistic data is noted, where available. Synthetic applications and limitations are summarized to illuminate the tremendous utility of photocatalytically generated nitrogen-centered radicals.

Abstract
The synthesis of alkenylated-o-carboranes via photoalkenylation of iodocarboranes with unactivated alkenes has been achieved. This strategy features a transition metal-free protocol, a light-promoted reaction under mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. Control experiments suggest that the reaction may involve the cage C-centered radical species.

Abstract
We describe here a Ni-catalyzed Negishi coupling reaction to prepare 1,2-dialkyl enol ethers in a stereoconvergent fashion. This method employs readily available and bench-stable α-oxy-vinylsulfones as electrophiles. The C-sulfone bond in the α-oxy-vinylsulfone motif is cleaved chemoselectively in these reactions. The mild conditions are tolerant of a variety of functional groups on both partners, thus representing a general strategy for enol ether synthesis. This unique reactivity of α-oxy-vinylsulfones indicates their further application as electrophilic partners in cross-coupling reactions.

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
Herein, we reported a dual-catalytic platform for the allylation of amines and sulfonyl hydrazines with olefins to selectively access α-allylic amines and allylic sulfones in good yields by combining photoredox catalysis and cobaloxime catalysis. This strategy avoided the use of a stoichiometric amount of terminal oxidant and the use of pre-functionalized allylic precursors, representing a green and ideal atom- & step-economical process. Good substrate scope and gram-scale synthesis demonstrated the utility of this protocol. Mechanistic studies revealed that a radical process is probably involved in this reaction.

Abstract
Hydrogen atom abstraction (HAT) from C(sp3)–H bonds of naturally abundant alkanes for alkyl radical generation represents a promising yet underexplored strategy in the alkylation reaction designs since involving stoichiometric oxidants, excessive alkane loading, and limited scope are common drawbacks. Here we report a photo-induced and chemical oxidant-free cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) between alkanes and heteroarenes using catalytic chloride and cobalt catalyst. Couplings of strong C(sp3)–H bond-containing substrates and complex heteroarenes, have been achieved with satisfactory yields. This dual catalytic platform features the in situ engendered chlorine radical for alkyl radical generation and exploits the cobaloxime catalyst to enable the hydrogen evolution for catalytic turnover. The practical value of this protocol was demonstrated by the gram-scale synthesis of alkylated heteroarene with merely 3 equiv. alkane loading. Hydrogen atom abstraction from C(sp3)–H bonds of naturally abundant alkanes for alkyl radical generation represents a promising yet underexplored strategy in the alkylation reaction designs. Here the authors show a photo-induced and chemical oxidant-free cross-dehydrogenative coupling between alkanes and heteroarenes using catalytic chloride and cobalt catalyst.

Abstract
The visible-light photoredox/[Co(III)] cocatalyzed dehydrogenative functionalization of cyclic and acyclic styryl derivatives with carboxylic acids is documented. The methodology enables the chemo- and regioselective allylic functionalization of styryl compounds, leading to allylic carboxylates (32 examples) under stoichiometric acceptorless conditions. Intermolecular as well as intramolecular variants are documented in high yields (up to 82%). A mechanistic rationale is also proposed on the basis of a combined experimental and spectroscopic investigation.

Abstract
Dehydrogenative cross-coupling (DCC) between pyridine and benzene proceeded selectively using a TiO2 photocatalyst under visible light irradiation at optimized concentrations of the substrates. Visible light induces ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) between pyridine and a TiO2 surface to give a pyridine radical cation, which produces a pyridyl radical by its deprotonation or oxidation of another pyridine molecule. The pyridyl radical attacks a benzene ring to form an sp2C-sp2C bond and a hydrogen atom is subsequently removed to complete DCC. Selective excitation of the pyridine LMCT complex in the presence of an excess amount of benzene would be the key for higher selectivity.

Abstract
AbstractBimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) is one of the most well-known fundamental reactions in organic chemistry to generate new molecules from two molecules. In principle, a nucleophile attacks from the back side of an alkylating agent having a suitable leaving group, most commonly a halide. However, alkyl halides are expensive, very harmful, toxic and not so stable, which makes them problematic for laboratory use. In contrast, trialkyl phosphates are inexpensive, readily accessible and stable at room temperature, under air, and are easy to handle, but rarely used as alkylating agents in organic synthesis. Here, we describe a mild, straightforward and powerful method for nucleophilic alkylation of various N-, O-, C- and S-nucleophiles using readily available trialkyl phosphates. The reaction proceeds smoothly in excellent yield, and quantitative yield in many cases, and covers a wide range of substrates. Further, the rare stereoselective transfer of secondary alkyl groups has been achieved with inversion of configuration of chiral centers (up to 98% ee).

Abstract
Oxidative heterofunctionalization reactions are among the most attractive methods for the conversion of alkenes and heteroatomic nucleophiles into complex saturated heterocycles. However, the state-of-the-art transition-metal-catalyzed methods to effect oxidative heterofunctionalizations are typically limited to unhindered olefins, and different nucleophilic partners generally require quite different reaction conditions. Herein, we show that Cu(II)-mediated radical-polar crossover allows for highly efficient and exceptionally mild photocatalytic oxidative heterofunctionalization reactions between bulky tri- and tetrasubstituted alkenes and a wide variety of nucleophilic partners. Moreover, we demonstrate that the broad scope of this transformation arises from photocatalytic alkene activation and thus complements existing transition-metal-catalyzed methods for oxidative heterofunctionalization. More broadly, these results further demonstrate that Cu(II) salts are ideal terminal oxidants for photoredox applications and that the combination of photocatalytic substrate activation and Cu(II)-mediated radical oxidation can address long-standing challenges in catalytic oxidation chemistry.

Abstract
Organic radicals are versatile synthetic intermediates that provide reactivities and selectivities complementary to ionic species. Despite its long history, electrochemically driven radical reactions remain limited in scope. In the past few years, there have been dramatic increase in research activity in organic electrochemistry. We have been developing electrochemical and electrophotocatalytic methods for the generation and synthetic utilization of organic radicals. In our studies, various radical species such as alkene and arene radical cations and carbon- and heteroatom-centered radicals are generated from readily available precursors through direct electrolysis, molecular electrocatalysis or molecular electrophotocatalysis. These radical species undergo various inter- and intramolecular oxidative transformations to rapidly increase molecular complexity. The simultaneous occurrence of anodic oxidation and cathodic proton reduction allows the oxidative reactions to proceed through H2 evolution without external chemical oxidants.

Abstract
Herein, we report a mild and efficient hydroxymethylation of quinolines via an iron promoted cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction under external acid free conditions. Various hydroxyalkyl substituted quinolines were achieved in excellent yields with well tolerated functional groups. Importantly, a few of the hydroxylmethylated quinolines were further transformed into respective aldehydes, and were successfully utilized for the synthesis of alkaloid arsindoline-A and its derivatives.
