Abstract
The present account summarises routes to tetralones, tetralines, and naphthalenes based on the chemistry of xanthates developed in the authors' laboratory. The degenerative reversible transfer of xanthates allows radical addition even to unactivated, electronically unbiased alkenes, and tolerates a broad range of functional groups, in particular common polar groups such as esters, ketones, nitriles, amides, carbamates, etc. Xanthates also allow radical ring closures onto aromatic rings. This feature, in combination with the intermolecular addition to alkenes, can be used to construct tetralones and tetralines. With the appropriate appendages, the former can be converted into napthalenes with a variety of substitution patterns. This translates into a convergent approach to a vast array of building blocks of interest to the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, and to material sciences.

Abstract
A new method for the efficient synthesis of hexahydro-1H-fluorene and octahydrobenzo[a]azulene derivatives through a ring-expansion strategy is reported. With an appropriate combination of thulium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate and 13X molecular sieves, a range of unsaturated polycyclic compounds were obtained in good yields. Mechanism studies reveal that the reaction is more likely to undergo Meyer-Schuster rearrangement, ring expansion, and Friedel-Crafts-type pathways, which provide a conceptually different strategy for the ring opening of tertiary cycloalkanols.

Abstract
We report the first terminal trifluoromethylation at aryl and alkyl ketones' γ, δ, ε, or more remote sites via the selective C-C bond cleavage of cycloalkanols. The noncovalent interactions between alcohols and hypervalent iodines(III) reagents were disclosed to activate both alcohols and the Togni I reagent in the dual photoredox/copper catalysis for the transformation. This reaction was scalable to the gram-scale synthesis, applicable to the structurally complex steroid trifluoromethylation, and extendable to the pentafluoroethylation.

Abstract
The formation of C-aryl bonds has been the focus of intensive research over the last decades for the construction of complex molecules from simple, readily available feedstocks. Traditionally, these strategies involve the coupling of organohalides (I, Br, Cl) with organometallic reagents (Mg, Zn, B, Si, Sn,…) such as Kumada-Corriu, Negishi, Suzuki-Miyaura, Hiyama and Sonogashira cross-couplings. More recently, alternative methods have provided access to these products by reactions with less reactive C-Het (F, O, S, N) and C-C bonds. Compared to traditional methods, the direct cleavage and arylation of these chemical bonds, the essential link in accessible feedstocks, has become increasingly important from the viewpoint of step-economy and functional-group compatibility. This comprehensive review aims to outline the development and advances of this topic, which was organized into (1) C-F bond arylation, (2) C-O bond arylation, (3) C-S bond arylation, (4) C-N bond arylation, and (5) C-C bond arylation. Substantial attention has been paid to the strategies and mechanistic investigations. We hope that this review can trigger chemists to discover more efficient methodologies to access arylation products by cleavage of these C-Het and C-C bonds.

Abstract
The metal-free ring expansion of cyclopropanols containing a pendant styrene moiety was successfully achieved using a proton-coupled electron transfer enabled by an organic photoredox catalyst. Through this, variants of 1-tetralone and 1-benzosuberone bearing a substituent at the benzylic position were selectively obtained through the regioselective ring closure of alkyl radical intermediates depending on the substitution pattern of the alkene moiety.

Abstract
Ketones with remote fluorination are an important motif in the synthesis of bioactive molecules. Here we demonstrate that ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) is able to produce this functionality under incredibly mild conditions and short reaction times (30 min) while eliminating the need for precious metals in previous methods. Importantly, this method allows the efficient synthesis of a wide variety of γ-fluoroketones and is highly scalable. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest this reaction proceeds through a radical pathway.

Abstract
Advances in the transition-metal-free cyclobutanol ring expansion to 4-tetralones under N-bromosuccinimide mediation are described. We have expanded the scope of this ring expansion methodology and investigated the effect substituents on the aromatic ring, and the cyclobutanol moiety, have on the outcome of the reaction. Limitations with certain substituents on the cyclobutanol moiety are also described. Further experimental evidence to support our mechanistic understanding is disclosed, and we now preclude the suggested involvement of a primary radical for this transformation.
