Abstract
In this study, we have developed a smooth metal-free visible-light-induced bromo-perfluoroalkylation of unactivated olefins with the aid of 10-phenylphenothiazine (PTH) as an organic photoredox catalyst. The reaction is 100% atom-economic redox-neutral and proceeds with stoichiometric amounts of olefin and perfluoroalkyl bromide. To show the potential of these unexplored motifs, we carried out various postfunctionalizations taking advantage of the bromine atom, including gram-scale experiments.

Abstract
The visible-light-promoted deoxygenative radical heteroarylation of alcohols was achieved in the absence of any external photosensitizers. The processes occur through the generation of xanthate salts from alcohols, followed by SET and fragmentation, delivering alkyl radicals to react with heteroaryl sulfones. This method is amenable for a wide range of alcohols with good functional group tolerance, providing a practical strategy for the alkylation of benzo-heteroaromatics. Mechanism studies indicate that direct visible-light excitation of xanthate anions and subsequent SET initiate the reactions.

Abstract
An operationally simple and green protocol using a NiSO4·6H2O/cationic 2,2'-bipyridyl ligand system as a water-soluble catalyst for the coupling of arylboronic acids with (2-haloallyl)phosphonates and (2-haloallyl)sulfones in water under air was developed. The reaction was performed at 120 °C with arylboronic acids (2 mmol) and (2-haloallyl)phosphonates or sulfones (1 mmol) in the presence of 5 mol % of the Ni catalytic system in a basic aqueous solution for 1 h, giving the corresponding 2-aryl allyl phosphonates or sulfones in good to excellent yields. This reaction features the use of an abundant transition metal as a catalyst in water and exhibits high functional group tolerance, rendering it an eco-friendly procedure.

Abstract
The incorporation of fluorine atoms into an organic compound can alter the chemical reactivity or biological activity of the resulting compound due to the strong electron withdrawing nature of the fluorine atom. We have synthesized many original gem-difluorinated compounds and described the results in four sections. The first section describes the synthesis of optically active-gem-difluorocyclopropanes via the chemo-enzymatic reaction; we applied these compounds to liquid crystalline molecules, then further discovered a potent DNA cleavage activity for the gem-difluorocyclopropane derivatives. The second section describes the synthesis of selectively gem-difluorinated compounds via a radical reaction; we synthesized fluorinated analogues of a sex pheromone of the male African sugarcane borer, Eldana saccharina, and used the compounds as proof for investigating the origin of pheromone molecule recognition on the receptor protein. The third involves the synthesis of 2,2-difluorinated-esters by visible light-driven radical addition of 2,2-difluoroacetate with alkenes or alkynes in the presence of an organic pigment. The last section describes the synthesis of gem-difluorinated compounds via the ring-opening of gem-difluorocyclopropanes. We further developed a novel method of synthesizing gem-difluorohomoallylic alcohols via the ring-opening of gem-difluorocyclopropane and aerobic oxidation by photo-irradiation in the presence of an organic pigment. Since gem-difluorinated compounds that were prepared by the present method have two olefinic moieties with a different reactivity at the terminal position, we accomplished the synthesis of four types of gem-difluorinated cyclic alkenols via the ring-closing-metathesis (RCM) reaction.

Abstract
A direct allylic C-H bond activation of α-methylstyrene derivatives with sulfonylhydrazines for the synthesis of allylic sulfones has been developed under exogenous oxidant- and metal-catalyst-free electrochemical conditions. Using the transfer of electrons in the current instead of a stoichiometric chemical oxidant, a series of valuable allylic sulfones were accessed with a wide substrate scope and excellent regioselectivity via radical coupling.

Abstract
A Co(III)-catalyzed redox-neutral [4 + 2] annulation of N-chlorobenzamides/acrylamides with substituted alkenes at ambient temperature is demonstrated. Using this protocol, pharmaceutically important 3,4-dihydroisoquinolinone derivatives were synthesized in good yields. Intriguingly, the synthetically useful functional group of allylic coupling partners such as sulfonyl, carbonate, acetate, phosphate, amide, nitrile, and silane were retained in the final cyclized product. The present annulation reaction was compatible with various substituted benzamides and allylic coupling partners. To support the proposed reaction mechanism, competition experiments, deuterium labeling studies, and kinetic isotope effect studies were performed.

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
A versatile synthesis of ArCF2X and [18F]Ar-CF3 type compounds from readily available ArCF2SO2CF3 has been developed. Diverse nucleophiles, including weak nucleophiles such as halides (18F-, Cl-, Br-, and I-), RSH, and ROH, could react with ArCF2SO2CF3 efficiently to give the corresponding difluoromethylene products. The control experiments and the Hammett plot indicated that the reaction might proceed through a difluorocarbocation intermediate generated from the steric hindrance-assisted cleavage of the trifluoromethylsulfonyl group.

Abstract
As the "chemical chameleon", sulfonyl-containing compounds and their variants have been merged with various types of reactions for the efficient construction of diverse molecular architectures by taking advantage of their incredible reactive flexibility. Currently, their involvement in radical transformations, in which the sulfonyl group typically acts as a leaving group via selective C-S, N-S, O-S, S-S, and Se-S bond cleavage/functionalization, has facilitated new bond formation strategies which are complementary to classical two-electron cross-couplings via organometallic or ionic intermediates. Considering the great influence and synthetic potential of these novel avenues, we summarize recent advances in this rapidly expanding area by discussing the reaction designs, substrate scopes, mechanistic studies, and their limitations, outlining the state-of-the-art processes involved in radical-mediated desulfonylation and related transformations. With a specific emphasis on their synthetic applications, we believe this review will be useful for medicinal and synthetic organic chemists who are interested in radical chemistry and radical-mediated desulfonylation in particular.

Abstract
An efficient silver-catalyzed method of decarboxylative radical allylation of α,α-difluoroarylacetic acids to build CF2-allyl bonds has been developed. Using allylsulfone as an allyl donor, α,α-difluorine substituted arylacetic acids bearing various functional groups are successfully allylated to access a series of 3-(α,α-difluorobenzyl)-1-propylene compounds in moderate to excellent yields in aqueous CH3CN solution under the mild conditions. Experimental studies disclosed that the α-fluorine substitution of arylacetic acid has a great influence on free radical activity and reactivity.

Abstract
A light-driven atom-transfer radical substitution (ATRS) and carboesterification reaction of alkenes with alkyl halides has been developed using PTH as the organo-photoredox catalyst. Two types of products were obtained, depending on the additive and solvent used during the reaction. Primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl halides reacted to give the ATRS products. This protocol has several advantages: it requires mild reaction conditions and a low catalyst loading and exhibits a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies indicate that alkyl radicals might be generated as the key intermediates via photocatalysis, providing a new direction for ATRS reactions.

Abstract
A practical silver-catalyzed decarboxylative allylation of α,α-difluoroarylacetic acids with allyl sulfones is described, which provides a variety of β,β-difluorinated alkenes in good yields. Notably, the reaction proceeds smoothly in water with good functional group tolerance. The practicality and synthetic value of this process was demonstrated by scaled-up experiment and elaboration of the products via reduction or Heck reaction. Primary mechanism investigations suggest that a radical process might be involved.

Abstract
Among the realm of visible light photocatalytic transformations, late-stage difluoromethylation reactions (introduction of difluoromethyl groups in the last stages of synthetic protocols) have played relevant roles as the CF2X group substitutions exert positive impacts on the physical properties of organic compounds including solubility, metabolic stability, and lipophilicity, which are tenets of considerable importance in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science. Visible-light-photocatalyzed difluoromethylation reactions are shown to be accomplished on (hetero)aromatic and carbon-carbon unsaturated aliphatic substrates under mild and environmentally benign conditions.
