Abstract
The use of photoredox catalysis for the synthesis of small organic molecules relies on harnessing and converting the energy in visible light to drive reactions. Specifically, photon energy is used to generate radical ion species that can be harnessed through subsequent reaction steps to form a desired product. Cyanoarenes are widely used as arylating agents in photoredox catalysis because of their stability as persistent radical anions. However, there are marked, unexplained variations in product yields when using different cyanoarenes. In this study, the quantum yield and product yield of an α-aminoarylation photoredox reaction between five cyanoarene coupling partners and N-phenylpyrrolidine were characterized. Significant discrepancies in cyanoarene consumption and product yield suggested a chemically irreversible, unproductive pathway in the reaction. Analysis of the side products in the reaction demonstrated the formation of species consistent with radical anion fragmentation. Electrochemical and computational methods were used to study the fragmentation of the different cyanoarenes and revealed a correlation between product yield and cyanoarene radical anion stability. Kinetic modeling of the reaction demonstrates that cross-coupling selectivity between N-phenylpyrrolidine and the cyanoarene is controlled by the same phenomenon present in the persistent radical effect.

Abstract
Herein, we have developed a complementary entry to enable hydroheteroarylation of alkenes involving basically photoredox dearomatizative heterocyclic carbon radical formation through acid-coupled electron transfer followed by Giese addition. While protonic solvent and thiophenol additive enabled two molecular hydroheteroarylations of alkenes, the nonproton environment with BF3 altered the chemoselectivity over cascade hydroheteroarylation of alkenes by radical addition of heteroaromatics with two molecular alkenes. This chemoselectivity can be mechanistically attributed to the dynamically favored hydrogen atom transfer via the cyclic transition state.

Abstract
Herein, by applying visible-light photoredox catalysis, we have achieved the catalytic deaminative alkylation of diphenylphosphine and phenyl phosphine with benzylamine-derived Katritzky salts at room temperature. The use of Eosin Y as photoredox catalyst and visible light can largely promote the reaction. A series of unsymmetrical tertiary phosphines were successfully synthesized, including phosphines with three different substituents that are otherwise difficult to obtain.

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
Organophosphorus compounds with stereogenic phosphorus and carbon atoms have received increasing attention. In this regards, primary phosphines with a stereogenic carbon atom adjacent to the phosphorus atom were synthesized by the reduction in phosphonates and phosphonoselenoates with a binaphthyl group. Their oxidized products, i.e., phosphine oxides with a stereogenic tetrasubstituted carbon atom, were found to undergo BEt3-mediated radical addition to cyclohexene to give P-stereogenic secondary phosphine oxides with a diastereoselectivity of 91:9. The products were characterized by ordinary analytical methods, such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy; 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectroscopies; and mass spectroscopy. Computational studies on the phosphorus-centered radical species and the obtained product implied that the thermodynamically stable radical and the adduct may be formed as a major diastereomer. The radical addition to a range of alkenes took place in an anti-Markovnikov fashion to give P-stereogenic secondary phosphine oxides. A variety of functional groups in the alkenes were tolerated under the reaction conditions to afford secondary phosphine oxides in moderate yields. Primary phosphines with an alkenyl group, which were generated in situ, underwent intramolecular cyclization to give five- and six-membered cyclic phosphines in high yields after protection by BH3.
