Abstract
An efficient approach for 1,2-difunctionalization of aromatic olefins and the synthesis of functionalized 1,4-diols monoethers has been established via a photoinduced three-component reaction of an α-alkoxycarboxylic acid, an aromatic olefin, and an aldehyde. The reaction proceeds by photoinduced oxidative decarboxylation of the carboxylic acid followed by the addition of the α-alkoxyalkyl radical to the olefin, one-electron reduction of the addition radical, and the nucleophilic attack of the resulting carbanion to the aldehyde. Besides the convenient one-pot protocol of the three-component reaction, this method offers several other advantages, including good functional group tolerance for the three substrates, gentle reaction conditions, and ease of scaling up. The reaction mechanism has been investigated through free radical trapping experiment and isotope labeling experiments.

Abstract
We developed a photocatalyzed Giese reaction of various weakly activated Michael acceptors with a neutral silicon-based radical precursor and applied it at large-scale using a continuous flow reactor. The developed method successfully overcomes the substrate scope limitations of previous studies, shows good functional groups tolerance, and affords good to excellent yields. On the basis of mechanistic studies, we propose a reaction mechanism that involves an in situ generated alkoxymethyl radical via single-electron oxidation of α-trimethylsilyl-substituted ethers.

Abstract
Dearomatization reactions involving radical cyclizations can facilitate the synthesis of complex polycyclic systems that find applications in medicinal chemistry and natural product synthesis. Here we employ redox-neutral photocatalysis to affect a radical spirocyclization that transforms biaryls into spirocyclic cyclohexadienones under mild reaction conditions. In a departure from previously reported methods, our work demonstrates the polarity mismatched addition of a nucleophilic radical to an electron rich arene, and allows the regioselective synthesis of 2,4- or 2,5-cyclohexadienones with broad functional group tolerance. By transforming biaryls into spirocycles, our methodology accesses underexplored three-dimensional chemical space, and provides an efficient means of creating quaternary spirocenters that we apply to the first synthesis of the cytotoxic plant metabolite denobilone A.

Abstract
Carbon-carbon bond formation is an efficient approach for the synthesis of amino alcohols using two simple starting materials. Herein, we present a novel method for a divergent synthesis of β-amino ethers and β-amino alcohols in a sequential one-pot protocol under high-efficiency, mild, and metal- or metal-free conditions. Especially, TMSCH2OPMP was developed as a synthetic equivalent of α-hydroxymethyl radical in an in situ photocatalyzed oxidative PMP group deprotection strategy under air. A preliminary mechanistic investigation provides evidence for reaction mechanism involving a photoinduced α-alkoxy methyl radical and superoxide.

Abstract
Single-electron transfer (SET) oxidation of ionic hypervalent complexes, representatively alkyltrifluoroborates (Alkyl-BF3-) and alkylbis(catecholato)silicates (Alkyl-Si(cat)2-), have contributed substantially to alkyl radical generation compared to alkali or alkaline earth organometallics because of their excellent activity-stability balance. Herein, we report another proposal using neutral metalloid compounds, Alkyl-GeMe3, as radical precursors. Compared to Alkyl-BF3- and Alkyl-Si(cat)2-, Alkyl-GeMe3 show comparable activity in radical addition reactions. Moreover, Alkyl-GeMe3 gives the first success of group 14 tetraalkyl nucleophiles in nickel catalyzed cross-coupling. Meanwhile, the neutral nature of these organogermanes supplemented the limination of ionic precursors in purification and derivatization. A preliminary mechanism study corresponds to the procedure that alkyl radical generates from tetraalkylgermane radical cation with the assistance of a nucleophile, which may also enlighten the development of more non-ionic alkyl radical precursors with metalloid center.

Abstract
Enantioselective catalytic Giese addition of photogenerated α-alkoxy radicals to acyl pyrazolidinones can be accomplished using a tandem Sc(III) Lewis acid/photoredox catalyst system. Surprisingly, the excited-state oxidation potential was not the only important variable, and the optimal photocatalyst was not the strongest oxidant screened. Our results show that both the oxidation and reduction potentials of the photocatalyst can be important for the reaction outcome, highlighting the importance of holistic considerations in designing photochemical reactions.

Abstract
Controlling the reactivity of reactive intermediates is essential to achieve selective transformations. Due to the facile 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), alkoxyl radicals have been proven to be important synthetic intermediates for the δ-functionalization of alcohols. Herein, we disclose a strategy to inhibit 1,5-HAT by introducing a silyl group into the α-position of alkoxyl radicals. The efficient radical 1,2-silyl transfer (SiT) allows us to make various α-functionalized products from alcohol substrates. Compared with the direct generation of α-carbon radicals from oxidation of α-C-H bond of alcohols, the 1,2-SiT strategy distinguishes itself by the generation of alkoxyl radicals, the tolerance of many functional groups, such as intramolecular hydroxyl groups and C-H bonds next to oxygen atoms, and the use of silyl alcohols as limiting reagents.

Abstract
This study presents a controllable one-pot synthesis for constructing valuable scaffolds (alcohols, 2,3-dihydrofurans, α-cyano-γ-butyrolactones, and γ-butyrolactones) via a visible-light photoredox-catalyzed Giese reaction and further transformation. This one-pot reaction can selectively synthesize the desired scaffold in excellent yields with good functional group tolerance. To further highlight the broad applicability of this controllable one-pot reaction, we have established flow reaction conditions with short reaction times for the scale-up of each scaffold and demonstrated the further transformation of 2,3-dihydrofurans and α-cyano-γ-butyrolactones to achieve scaffold diversity for applications in drug discovery.

Abstract
An efficient and greener deprotection method for p-methoxybenzyl (PMB) ethers using a metal-free visible light photoredox catalyst and air and ammonium persulfate as the terminal oxidants is presented. Various functional groups and protecting groups were tolerated in the developed method to achieve good to excellent yields in short reaction times. Significantly, the developed method was compatible with PMB ethers derived from primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols and a gram-scale reaction. Mechanistic studies support a proposed reaction mechanism that involves single electron oxidation of the PMB ether.
