Abstract
Harnessing the key intermediates in metal-catalyzed reactions is one of the most essential strategies in the development of selective organic transformations. The nitrogen group transfer reactivity of metal-nitrenoids to ubiquitous C-H bonds allows for diverse C-N bond formation to furnish synthetically valuable aminated products. In this study, we present an unprecedented reactivity of iridium and ruthenium nitrenoids to generate remote carbocation intermediates, which subsequently undergo nucleophile incorporation, thus developing a formal γ-C-H functionalization of carboxylic acids. Mechanistic investigations elucidated a unique singlet metal-nitrenoid reactivity to initiate an abstraction of γ-hydride to form the carbocation intermediate that eventually reacts with a broad range of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen nucleophiles, as well as biorelevant molecules. Alternatively, the same intermediate can lead to deprotonation to afford β,γ-unsaturated amides in a less nucleophilic solvent.

Abstract
A kinetic study on the reactions of the cumyloxyl radical (CumO•) with a series of alkanols and alkanediols has been carried out. Predominant hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) from the α-C-H bonds of these substrates, activated by the presence of the OH group, is observed. The comparable kH values measured for ethanol and 1-propanol and the increase in kH measured upon going from 1,2-diols to structurally related 1,3- and 1,4-diols is indicative of β-C-H deactivation toward HAT to the electrophilic CumO•, determined by the electron-withdrawing character of the OH group. No analogous deactivation is observed for the corresponding diamines, in agreement with the weaker electron-withdrawing character of the NH2 group. The significantly lower kH values measured for reaction of CumO• with densely oxygenated methyl pyranosides as compared to cyclohexanol derivatives highlights the role of β-C-H deactivation. The contribution of torsional effects on reactivity is evidenced by the ∼2-fold increase in kH observed upon going from the trans isomers of 4- tert-butylcyclohexanol and 1,2- and 1,4-cyclohexanediol to the corresponding cis isomers. These results provide an evaluation of the role of electronic and torsional effects on HAT reactions from alcohols and diols to CumO•, uncovering moreover β-C-H deactivation as a relevant contributor in defining site selectivity.

Abstract
In this chapter, most of the reported work deals with the photochemistry of carbonyl compounds; however, the photoreactions of other functions, such as the photo-Claisen rearrangement or the photocleavage of cyclic ethers, are also included. In the present volume, time coverage is 2010–2011, and only original research articles are quoted. In general, reviews or purely theoretical calculations are not systematically included. As usually, the material is organized according to established types of reactions (e.g., Norrish I/II, hydrogen abstraction, Paternò-Büchi, photoelimination, photo-Fries/photo-Claisen, etc.). After presenting the basic photochemical aspects, more specific findings are reported. They include synthetic applications, stereoselectivity, and biological or technological implications. Next, the attention is focused on photochemical reactions in anisotropic media, including (micro)heterogeneous or supramolecular systems, solid matrixes or fully organized crystals. Finally, mechanistic studies based on direct experimental evidence are highlighted, especially when transient absorption spectroscopy or related ultrafast detection are employed.

Abstract
A kinetic study of the hydrogen abstraction reactions from tetrahydrofuran (THF) and cyclohexane (CHX) by the cumyloxyl radical was carried out in different solvents. With THF, a 4.5-fold decrease in rate constant (k(H)) was observed on going from isooctane to 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol. An opposite behavior was observed with CHX, where k(H) increased by a factor 4 on going from isooctane to 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol. The important role of substrate structure and of the solvent hydrogen bond donor ability is discussed.
