Abstract
Combining simple amines with the bench-stable sulfinylamine Tr-NSO allows in situ preparation of reactive alkyl sulfinylamines, which when combined with alkyl radicals generated by photocatalytic decarboxylation, provides N-alkyl sulfinamides. The reactions are broad in scope and tolerate a wide variety of functional groups on both the acid and amine components. The sulfinamide products are used to prepare a selection of challenging S(VI) products. The method provides a convenient way to use reactive and unstable alkyl sulfinylamines.

Abstract
Amines are centrally important motifs in medicinal chemistry and biochemistry, and indispensable intermediates and linchpins in organic synthesis. Despite their cross-disciplinary prominence, synthetic access to amine continues to rely on two-electron approaches based on reductions and additions of organometallic reagents, limiting their accessible chemical space and necessitating stepwise preassembly of synthetic precursors. We report herein a homogeneous photocatalytic tricomponent decarboxylative radical-mediated amine construction that enables modular access to α-branched secondary amines directly from the broad and structurally diverse chemical space of carboxylic acids in a tricomponent reaction with aldehydes and aromatic amines. Our studies reveal the key role of acridine photocatalysis acting in concert with copper and Brønsted acid catalytic processes in facilitating the previously inaccessible homogeneous photocatalytic reaction and provide a streamlined segue to a wide range of amines and nonproteinogenic α-amino acids.

Abstract
The cost-effective and efficient synthesis of alkenes is highly significant due to their extensive applications in both synthetic and polymer industries. A transition metal-free approach has been devised for the chemoselective olefination of carboxylic acid salts. This modular approach provides direct access to valuable electron-deficient styrenes in moderate to good yields. Detailed mechanistic studies suggest anionic decarboxylation is followed by halogen ion transfer. This halogen transfer leads to an umpolung of reactant electronics, allowing for a rate-limiting rebound elimination.

Abstract
The C(sp3)-N bond is ubiquitous in natural products, pharmaceuticals, biologically active molecules and functional materials. Consequently, the development of practical and efficient methods for C(sp3)-N bond formation has attracted more and more attention. Compared to the conventional ionic pathway-based thermal methods, photochemical processes that proceed through radical mechanisms by merging photoredox and transition-metal catalyses have emerged as powerful and alternative tools for C(sp3)-N bond formation. In this review, recent advances in the burgeoning field of C(sp3)-N bond formation via metallaphotoredox catalysis have been highlighted. The contents of this review are categorized according to the transition metals used (copper, nickel, cobalt, palladium, and iron) together with photocatalysis. Emphasis is placed on methodology achievements and mechanistic insight, aiming to inspire chemists to invent more efficient radical-involved C(sp3)-N bond-forming reactions.

Abstract
Development of photocatalytic systems that facilitate mechanistically divergent steps in complex catalytic manifolds by distinct activation modes can enable previously inaccessible synthetic transformations. However, multimodal photocatalytic systems remain understudied, impeding their implementation in catalytic methodology. We report herein a photocatalytic access to thiols that directly merges the structural diversity of carboxylic acids with the ready availability of elemental sulfur without substrate preactivation. The photocatalytic transformation provides a direct radical-mediated segue to one of the most biologically important and synthetically versatile organosulfur functionalities, whose synthetic accessibility remains largely dominated by two-electron-mediated processes based on toxic and uneconomical reagents and precursors. The two-phase radical process is facilitated by a multimodal catalytic reactivity of acridine photocatalysis that enables both the singlet excited state PCET-mediated decarboxylative carbon-sulfur bond formation and the previously unknown radical reductive disulfur bond cleavage by a photoinduced HAT process in the silane-triplet acridine system. The study points to a significant potential of multimodal photocatalytic systems in providing unexplored directions to previously inaccessible transformations.

Abstract
A facile photocatalytic radical [4+2] cyclization of N-aryl-α-amino acids with various alkenes to access structurally polysubstituted tetrahydroquinolines has been developed. Using a simple bipyridine as a catalyst, different N-aryl-α-amino acids could be utilized as the radical precursors to react with diverse electrophilic alkenes, including exocyclic terminal alkenes, acyclic terminal alkenes, and cycloalkenes, producing 10 types of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds fused in multiple frameworks in generally moderate yields with good diastereoselectivities. Scale-up synthesis and transformations of the products further demonstrated the synthetic application of this protocol. Moreover, a decarboxylative radial pathway via a proton-coupled electron transfer process for illustration of this [4+2] cyclization was proposed on the basis of the control experiments. This process is highlighted by a simple bipyridine photocatalysis, mild reaction conditions, various N-aryl-α-amino acids and alkene materials, and application for the modification of natural products.

Abstract
Tricomponent cobalt(salen)-catalyzed carbofunctionalization of unsaturated substrates by radical-polar crossover has the potential to streamline access to broad classes of heteroatom-functionalized synthetic targets, yet the reaction platform has remained elusive, despite the well-developed analogous hydrofunctionalizations mediated by high-valent alkylcobalt intermediates. We report herein the development of a cobalt(salen) catalytic system that enables carbofunctionalization. The reaction entails a tricomponent decarboxylative 1,4-carboamination of dienes and provides a direct route to aromatic allylic amines by obviating preformed allylation reagents and protection of oxidation-sensitive aromatic amines. The catalytic system merges acridine photocatalysis with cobalt(salen)-catalyzed regioselective 1,4-carbofunctionalization that facilitates the crossover of the radical and polar phases of the tricomponent coupling process, revealing critical roles of the reactants, as well as ligand effects and the nature of the formal high-valent alkylcobalt species on the chemo- and regioselectivity.

Abstract
Carboxylic acids and thiols are basic chemical compounds with diverse utility and widespread reactivity. However, the direct conversion of unprotected acids to thiols is hampered due to a fundamental problem - free thiols are incompatible with the alkyl radicals formed on decarboxylation of carboxylic acids. Herein, we describe a concept for the direct photocatalytic thiolation of unprotected acids allowing unprotected thiols and their derivatives to be obtained. The method is based on the application of a thionocarbonate reagent featuring the N-O bond. The reagent serves both for the rapid trapping of alkyl radicals and for the facile regeneration of the acridine-type photocatalyst.

Abstract
A mild, practical, and environmentally friendly method for the hydrodecarboxylation of fatty acids using an acridine-based photoredox catalyst and thiophenol was developed. Cn-1 alkanes were synthesized in good to excellent yields (up to 99 %) from C10-C18 saturated fatty acids under visible light irradiation (405 nm). The developed protocol was employed for a mixture of fatty acids obtained from the hydrolysis of Licuri oil, affording a mixture of C9-C17 hydrocarbons in quantitative yield, which demonstrates the potential application of the method to produce drop-in biofuels.

Abstract
Sulfinamides are some of the most centrally important four-valent sulfur compounds that serve as critical entry points to an array of emergent medicinal functional groups, molecular tools for bioconjugation, and synthetic intermediates including sulfoximines, sulfonimidamides, and sulfonimidoyl halides, as well as a wide range of other S(iv) and S(vi) functionalities. Yet, the accessible chemical space of sulfinamides remains limited, and the approaches to sulfinamides are largely confined to two-electron nucleophilic substitution reactions. We report herein a direct radical-mediated decarboxylative sulfinamidation that for the first time enables access to sulfinamides from the broad and structurally diverse chemical space of carboxylic acids. Our studies show that the formation of sulfinamides prevails despite the inherent thermodynamic preference for the radical addition to the nitrogen atom, while a machine learning-derived model facilitates prediction of the reaction efficiency based on computationally generated descriptors of the underlying radical reactivity.

Abstract
An electrochemical strategy for the decarboxylative elimination of carboxylic acids to alkenes at room temperature has been developed. This mild and oxidant-free method provides a green alternative to traditional thermal decarboxylation reactions. Structurally diverse aliphatic carboxylic acids, including biologically active drugs, underwent smooth conversion to the corresponding alkenes in good to excellent yields.

Abstract
Early transition metal-catalyzed hydroaminoalkylation is a powerful single-step method to selectively add amines to polybutadienes, offering an efficient strategy to access amine-functionalized polyolefins. Aryl and alkyl secondary amines were used with a tantalum catalyst to functionalize both 28 wt% (PBD13) and 70 wt% (PBD50) 1,2-polybutadiene polymers. The degree of amination was controlled by modifying amine and catalyst loading in both small- and multigram-scale reactions. The vinyl groups of 1,2-polybutadiene were aminated with ease, and unexpectedly the hydroaminoalkylation of challenging internal alkenes of the 1,4-polybutadiene unit was observed. This unanticipated reactivity was proposed to be due to a directing group effect. This hypothesis was supported with small-molecule model substrates, which also showed directed internal alkene amination. Increasing degrees of amination resulted in materials with dramatically higher and tunable glass transition temperature (Tg) values, due to the dynamic cross-linking accessible to hydrogen-bonding, amine-containing materials. Primary amine-functionalized polybutadiene was also prepared, demonstrating that a broad new class of amine-containing polyolefins can be accessed by postpolymerization hydroaminoalkylation.

Abstract
Synthesis of olefin-styrene copolymers with defined architecture is challenging due to the limitations associated with the inherent reactivity ratios for these monomers in radical or metal-catalyzed polymerizations. Herein, we developed a straightforward approach to alternating styrene-propylene and styrene-ethylene copolymers by combining radical polymerizations and powerful post-polymerization modification reactions. We employed reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization between styrene derivatives and saccharin (meth)acrylamide to generate alternating copolymers. Once polymerized, the amide bond of the saccharin monomers was highly reactive toward hydrolysis, an observation exploited to obtain alternating styrene-acrylic acid/methacrylic acid copolymers. Subsequent mild decarboxylation of the (meth)acrylic acid groups in the presence of a photocatalyst and a hydrogen source under visible light resulted in the styrene-alt-ethylene/propylene copolymers. Alternating copolymers comprised of either propylene or ethylene units alternating with functional styrene derivatives were also prepared, illustrating the compatibility of this approach for functional polymer synthesis. Finally, the thermal properties of the alternating copolymers were compared to those from statistical copolymer analogs to elucidate the effect of microarchitecture and styrene substituents on the glass transition temperature.

Abstract
sulfinamides, sulfonamides, and sulfonimidamides are in-demand motifs in medicinal chemistry, yet methods for the synthesis of alkyl variants that start from simple, readily available feedstocks are scarce. In addition, bespoke syntheses of each class of molecules are usually needed. In this report, we detail the synthesis of these three distinct sulfur functional groups, using readily available and structurally diverse alkyl carboxylic acids as the starting materials. The method harnesses alkyl radical generation from carboxylic acids using acridine photocatalysts and 400 nm light with subsequent radical addition to sulfinylamine reagents, delivering sulfinamide products. Using the N-alkoxy sulfinylamine reagent t-BuO-NSO as the radical trap provides common N-alkoxy sulfinamide intermediates, which can be converted in a divergent manner to either sulfonamides or sulfonimidamides, by treatment with sodium hydroxide, or an amine, respectively. The reactions are scalable, tolerate a broad range of functional groups, and can be used for the diversification of complex biologically active compounds.

Abstract
The carbon-nitrogen bond is one of the most prevalent chemical bonds in natural and artificial molecules, as many naturally existing organic molecules, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional materials contain at least one nitrogen atom. Radical decarboxylative carbon-nitrogen bond formation from readily available carboxylic acids and their derivatives has emerged as an attractive and valuable tool in modern synthetic chemistry. The promising achievements in this research topic have been demonstrated via utilizing this strategy in the synthesis of complex natural products. In this review, we will cover carbon-nitrogen bond formation via radical decarboxylation of carboxylic acids, Barton esters, MPDOC esters, N-hydroxyphthalimide esters (NHP esters), oxime esters, aryliodine(III) dicarboxylates, and others, respectively. This review aims to bring readers a comprehensive survey of the development in this rapidly expanding field. We hope that this review will emphasize the knowledge, highlight the proposed mechanisms, and further disclose the fascinating features in modern synthetic applications.

Abstract
We establish a synthetically convenient method to degrade polyacrylate homopolymers. Carboxylic acids are installed along the polymer backbone by partial hydrolysis of the ester side chains, and then, in a one-pot sequential procedure, the carboxylic acids are converted into alkenes and oxidatively cleaved. This process enables the robustness and properties of polyacrylates to be maintained during their usable lifetime. The ability to tune the degree of degradation was demonstrated by varying the carboxylic acid content of the polymers. This method is compatible with a wide range of polymers prepared from vinyl monomers through copolymerization of acrylic acid with different monomers including acrylates, acrylamides, and styrenics.

Abstract
Triazoles have major roles in chemistry, medicine, and materials science, as centrally important heterocyclic motifs and bioisosteric replacements for amides, carboxylic acids, and other carbonyl groups, as well as some of the most widely used linkers in click chemistry. Yet, the chemical space and molecular diversity of triazoles remains limited by the accessibility of synthetically challenging organoazides, thereby requiring preinstallation of the azide precursors and restricting triazole applications. We report herein a photocatalytic, tricomponent decarboxylative triazolation reaction that for the first time enables direct conversion of carboxylic acids to triazoles in a single-step, triple catalytic coupling with alkynes and a simple azide reagent. Data-guided inquiry of the accessible chemical space of decarboxylative triazolation indicates that the transformation can improve access to the structural diversity and molecular complexity of triazoles. Experimental studies demonstrate a broad scope of the synthetic method that includes a variety of carboxylic acid, polymer, and peptide substrates. When performed in the absence of alkynes, the reaction can also be used to access organoazides, thereby obviating preactivation and specialized azide reagents and providing a two-pronged approach to C-N bond-forming decarboxylative functional group interconversions.

Abstract
AbstractConventional hydrofunctionalization of α-olefins with mineral acids proceeds with Markovnikov selectivity to afford branched isomers. The direct formation of linear constitutional isomers is challenging, yet anti-Markovnikov addition would be valuable for the synthesis of commodity chemicals, such as primary alcohols, which are currently only accessible via stoichiometric redox reactions, with a full equivalent of waste of both oxidant and reductant. Strategies that utilize radical intermediates have been demonstrated, but only for activated alkenes, and the direct use of aqueous mineral acids remains elusive. Here we present anti-Markovnikov addition reactions of aqueous hydrochloric and nitric acid to unactivated alkenes. The transformation is enabled by the in situ generation of photoredox-active ion pairs, derived from acridine and the mineral acid, as a combined charge- and phase-transfer catalyst. The introduction of a hydrogen atom transfer catalyst enabled us to bypass the challenging chain propagation by hydrochloric and nitric acids that originates from the high bond dissociation energy.

Abstract
A copper-catalyzed decarboxylative elimination reaction of (hetero)aromatic propionic acids to vinyl (hetero)arenes has been developed. This method furnishes alkenes from carboxylic acids without the need for stochiometric Pb or Ag additives or expensive or specialized photocatalysts. A series of mechanistic experiments indicate that the reaction proceeds via benzylic deprotonation and subsequent radical decarboxylation; a pathway that is distinct from the single-electron-transfer mechanisms implicated in related decarboxylative elimination reactions.

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
We report a protocol for the one-pot two-step synthesis of noradamantane methylene amines. The first step is the triflic acid-promoted decarboxylation of adamantane carbamates, which causes rearrangement of the adamantane framework to form noradamantane iminium salts, which are reduced to amines in the second separate step.

Abstract
The intermediate oxidation state of sulfoxides is central to the plethora of their applications in chemistry and medicine, yet it presents challenges for an efficient synthetic access, limiting the structural diversity of currently available sulfoxides. Here, we report a data-guided development of direct decarboxylative sulfinylation that enables the previously inaccessible functional group interconversion of carboxylic acids to sulfoxides in a reaction with sulfinates. Given the broad availability of carboxylic acids and the growing synthetic potential of sulfinates, the direct decarboxylative sulfinylation is poised to improve the structural diversity of synthetically accessible sulfoxides. The reaction is facilitated by a kinetically favored sulfoxide formation from the intermediate sulfinyl sulfones, despite the strong thermodynamic preference for the sulfone formation, unveiling the previously unknown and chemoselective radicalophilic sulfinyl sulfone reactivity.

Abstract
Dual catalytic systems involving photocatalytic activation and transition metal-catalyzed steps have enabled innovative approaches to the construction of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. However, the mechanistic complexity of the dual catalytic processes presents multiple challenges for understanding of the roles of divergent catalytic species that can impede the development of future synthetic methods. Here, we report a dual catalytic process that enables the previously inaccessible, broad-scope, direct conversion of carboxylic acids to aromatic sulfones-centrally important carbonyl group bioisosteric replacements and synthetic intermediates-by a tricomponent decarboxysulfonylative cross-coupling with aryl halides. Detailed mechanistic and computational studies revealed the roles of the copper catalyst, base, and halide anions in channeling the acridine/copper system via a distinct dual catalytic manifold. In contrast to the halide-free decarboxylative conjugate addition that involves cooperative dual catalysis via low-valent copper species, the halide counteranions divert the decarboxysulfonylative cross-coupling with aryl halides through a two-phase, orthogonal relay catalytic manifold, comprising a kinetically coupled (via antithetical inhibitory and activating roles of the base in the two catalytic cycles), mechanistically discrete sequence of a photoinduced, acridine-catalyzed decarboxylative process and a thermal copper-catalyzed arylative coupling. The study underscores the importance of non-innocent roles of counteranions and key redox steps at the interface of catalytic cycles for enabling previously inaccessible dual catalytic transformations.

Abstract
A selective, remote desaturation has been developed to rapidly access homoallyl amines from their aliphatic precursors. The strategy employs a triple H-atom transfer (HAT) cascade, entailing (i) cobalt-catalyzed metal-HAT (MHAT), (ii) carbon-to-carbon 1,6-HAT, and (iii) Co-H regeneration via MHAT. A new class of sulfonyl radical chaperone (to rapidly access and direct remote, radical reactivity) enables remote desaturation of diverse amines, amino acids, and peptides with excellent site-, chemo-, and regioselectivity. The key, enabling C-to-C HAT step in this cascade was computationally designed to satisfy both thermodynamic (bond strength) and kinetic (polarity) requirements, and it has been probed via regioselectivity, isomerization, and competition experiments. We have also interrupted this radical transfer dehydrogenation to achieve γ-selective C-Cl, C-CN, and C-N bond formations.

Abstract
We report herein an asymmetric C-H dehydrogenative allylic alkylation by a synergistic catalytic system involving a chiral primary amine, a photoredox catalyst, and a cobaloxime cocatalyst. The ternary catalytic system enables the coupling of β-ketocarbonyls and olefins with good yields and high enantioselectivities. Mechanism studies disclosed a cooperative radical addition process with a chiral α-imino radical and Co(II)-metalloradical wherein the chiral primary aminocatalyst and the cobaloxime catalyst work in concert to control the stereoinduction.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are structurally tuneable, porous and crystalline polymers constructed through the covalent attachment of small organic building blocks as elementary units. Using the myriad of such building blocks, a broad spectrum of functionalities has been applied for COF syntheses for broad applications, including heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we report the synthesis of a new family of porous and crystalline COFs using a novel acridine linker and benzene‐1,3,5‐tricarbaldehyde derivatives bearing a variable number of hydroxy groups. With the broad absorption in the visible light region, the COFs were applied as photocatalysts in metallaphotocatalytic C−N cross‐coupling. The fully β‐ketoenamine linked COF showed the highest activity, due to the increased charge separation upon irradiation. The COF showed good to excellent yields for several aryl bromides, good recyclability and even catalyzed the organic transformation in presence of green light as energy source.

Abstract
The reactivity of the sulfonyl group varies dramatically from nucleophilic sulfinates through chemically robust sulfones to electrophilic sulfonyl halides-a feature that has been used extensively in medicinal chemistry, synthesis, and materials science, especially as bioisosteric replacements and structural analogs of carboxylic acids and other carbonyls. Despite the great synthetic potential of the carboxylic to sulfonyl functional group interconversions, a method that can convert carboxylic acids directly to sulfones, sulfinates and sulfonyl halides has remained out of reach. We report herein the development of a photocatalytic system that for the first time enables direct decarboxylative conversion of carboxylic acids to sulfones and sulfinates, as well as sulfonyl chlorides and fluorides in one step and in a multicomponent fashion. A mechanistic study prompted by the development of the new method revealed the key structural features of the acridine photocatalysts that facilitate the decarboxylative transformations and provided an informative and predictive multivariate linear regression model that quantitatively relates the structural features with the photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
Indazole and pyrazole are renowned as a prodigious class of heterocycles having versatile uses in medicinal as well as industrial chemistry. Considering sustainable approaches, recently, photocatalysis has become an indispensable tool in organic chemistry due to its application for the activation of small molecules and the use of a clean energy source. In this review, we have highlighted the use of metal-based photocatalysts, organic photoredox catalysts, energy transfer photocatalysts and electron-donor-acceptor complexes in the functionalization of indazole and pyrazole. This perspective is arranged based on the types of functionalization reactions on indazole and pyrazole. A detailed discussion regarding the reaction mechanism of each reaction is given to provide a comprehensive guide to the reader. Finally, a summary of existing challenges and the future outlook towards the development of efficient photocatalytic methods for functionalization of these heterocycles is also presented.

Abstract
Thiolation of carboxylic acids using a disulfide reagent having tetrafluoropyridinyl groups is described. The light-mediated process is performed using an acridine-type photocatalyst. Primary, secondary, tertiary, and heteroatom-substituted carboxylic acids can be thiolated, and the method can be applied to the late-stage modification of a range of naturally occurring compounds and drugs. The fluorinated pyridine fragment is believed to enable the C-S bond formation. The resulting sulfides were used as redox-active radical precursors.

Abstract
The quest to find milder and more sustainable methods to generate highly reactive, carbon-centred intermediates has led to a resurgence of interest in radical chemistry. In particular, carboxylic acids are seen as attractive radical precursors due their availability, low cost, diversity, and sustainability. Moreover, the corresponding nucleophilic carbon-radical can be easily accessed through a favourable radical decarboxylation process, extruding CO2 as a traceless by-product. This review summarizes the recent progress on using carboxylic acids directly as convenient radical precursors for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds via the 1,4-radical conjugate addition (Giese) reaction.

Abstract
Difluoroboryl complexes obtained from N-acyl hydrazones upon brief treatment with boron trifluoride and allylic silane serve as efficient acceptors of alkyl radicals. The reaction of the boryl chelates with carboxylic acids in the presence of an acridine-type photocatalyst leading to N-acyl hydrazides is described. The efficiency of addition at the C═N bond of the chelates is determined by the formation of a nitrogen-centered radical stabilized by the boron-containing heterocyclic ring.

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
The value of catalytic dehydrogenation of aliphatics (CDA) in organic synthesis has remained largely underexplored. Known homogeneous CDA systems often require the use of sacrificial hydrogen acceptors (or oxidants), precious metal catalysts, and harsh reaction conditions, thus limiting most existing methods to dehydrogenation of non- or low-functionalized alkanes. Here we describe a visible-light-driven, dual-catalyst system consisting of inexpensive organophotoredox and base-metal catalysts for room-temperature, acceptorless-CDA (Al-CDA). Initiated by photoexited 2-chloroanthraquinone, the process involves H atom transfer (HAT) of aliphatics to form alkyl radicals, which then react with cobaloxime to produce olefins and H2. This operationally simple method enables direct dehydrogenation of readily available chemical feedstocks to diversely functionalized olefins. For example, we demonstrate, for the first time, the oxidant-free desaturation of thioethers and amides to alkenyl sulfides and enamides, respectively. Moreover, the system's exceptional site selectivity and functional group tolerance are illustrated by late-stage dehydrogenation and synthesis of 14 biologically relevant molecules and pharmaceutical ingredients. Mechanistic studies have revealed a dual HAT process and provided insights into the origin of reactivity and site selectivity.

Abstract
Intermolecular functionalization of C(sp3)-H bonds and aliphatic carboxylic acids enables the efficient synthesis of high value-added organic compounds from readily available starting materials. Although methods involving hydrogen atom transfer have been developed for such functionalization, these methods either work for only activated C(sp3)-H bonds or bring in a narrow set of functional groups. Here we describe a Cu-catalyzed process for the diverse functionalization of both unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds and aliphatic carboxylic acids. The process is enabled by the trapping of alkyl radicals generated through hydrogen atom abstraction by arylsulfonyl-based SOMO-philes, which introduces a large array of C, N, S, Se, and halide-based functional groups. The chemoselectivity can be switched from C-H functionalization to decarboxylative functionalization by matching the bond dissociation energy of the hydrogen atom transfer reagent with that of the target C-H or O-H bond.

Abstract
We report here a mechanistically distinct tactic to carry E2-type eliminations on alkyl halides. This strategy exploits the interplay of α-aminoalkyl radical-mediated halogen-atom transfer (XAT) with desaturative cobalt catalysis. The methodology is high-yielding, tolerates many functionalities, and was used to access industrially relevant materials. In contrast to thermal E2 eliminations where unsymmetrical substrates give regioisomeric mixtures, this approach enables, by fine-tuning of the electronic and steric properties of the cobalt catalyst, to obtain high olefin positional selectivity. This unprecedented mechanistic feature has allowed access to contra-thermodynamic olefins, elusive by E2 eliminations.

Abstract
N-monosubstituted β-aminoacrylates are building blocks, which have been used in the preparation of amino acids and pharmaceuticals. Two efficient, stereoselective methods of preparation, via acid- or base-promoted condensation reactions of carbamates, are described. The base-promoted reaction is E-selective, while acid catalysis can, through the choice of solvent, selectively form E or Z. The acid-catalyzed E-selective process proceeds through a crystallization obviating the need for chromatographic purification.
