Abstract
Herein, the work demonstrates an electrochemically paired electrolysis approach facilitating the efficient achievement of the electrooxidative 1,3-oxo/carboamination of arylcyclopropanes under mild conditions. The formation of 1,3-arylamination of arylcyclopropanes involves commercially available amine redox mediators through a radical-radical process. In addition, the successful execution of β-amino ketones also occurs under atmospheric conditions. The control experiments supported the existence of key benzylic radical intermediates in the reaction pathway.

Abstract
The carbon monoxide reduction reaction (CORR) toward C2+ and C3+ products such as propylene and cyclopropane can not only reduce anthropogenic emissions of CO and CO2 but also produce value-added organic chemicals for polymer and pharmaceutical industries. Here, we introduce the concept of triple atom catalysts (TACs) that have three intrinsically strained and active metal centers for reducing CO to C3+ products. We applied grand canonical potential kinetics (GCP-K) to screen 12 transition metals (M) supported by nitrogen-doped graphene denoted as M3N7, where M stands for Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Ir, Pt, and Au. We sought catalysts with favorable CO binding, hydrogen binding, and C-C dimerization energetics, identifying Fe3N7 and Ir3N7 as the best candidates. We then studied the entire reaction mechanism from CO to C3H6 and C2H4 as a function of applied potential via, respectively, 12-electron and 8-electron transfer pathways on Fe3N7 and Ir3N7. Density functional theory (DFT) predicts an overpotential of 0.17 VRHE for Fe3N7 toward propylene and an overpotential of 0.42 VRHE toward cyclopropane at 298.15 K and pH = 7. Also, DFT predicts an overpotential of 0.15 VRHE for Ir3N7 toward ethylene. This work provides fundamental insights into the design of advanced catalysts for C2+ and C3+ synthesis at room temperature.

Abstract
Herein we report a visible-light-induced, α-aminoalkyl radical-mediated cascade reaction of 1,7-enynes that establishes a unique ring-closing enyne transformation pathway which occurs with concomitant loss of a methylene moiety. The α-aminoalkyl radical derived from N,N-dimethylaniline was demonstrated to be a traceless promoter of enyne reorganization leading to 4-alkylquinolinones. The reaction can also be extended to nitrile-substituted acrylamide systems, leading to carbostyrils. Experiments with deuterated N,N-dimethylaniline-d6 (PhN(CD3)2) established the involvement of 1,5-H atom transfer in the mechanism.

Abstract
Herein, we document the design and development of a novel (3 + 2) cycloaddition reaction aided by the activity of an organic photocatalyst and visible light. The process is extremely fast, taking place in a few minutes, with virtually complete atom economy. A large variety of structurally diverse aziridines were used as masked ylides in the presence of different types of dipolarophiles (28 examples with up to 94% yield and >95 : 5 dr). Mechanistic insights obtained from photophysical, electrochemical and experimental studies highlight that the chemistry is driven by the in situ generation of the reactive ylide through two consecutive electron-transfer processes. We also report an aerobic cascade process, where an additional oxidation step grants access to a vast array of pyrrole derivatives (19 examples with up to 95% yield). Interestingly, the extended aromatic core exhibits a distinctive absorption and emission profile, which can be easily used to tag the effectiveness of this covalent linkage.

Abstract
By resorting to the principle of remote activation, we herein demonstrate the first photoredox catalyzed (3+3) dipolar cycloaddition of nitrones with aryl cyclopropanes. Key to the fidelity of the reaction resides in a facile manner of substrate activation by single-electron transfer (SET) oxidation with photoredox catalysis, and the reaction takes place through a stepwise cascade encompassing a three-electron-type nucleophilic substitution triggered cyclopropane ring-opening and a diastereoselective 6-endo-trig radical cyclization manifold. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity, nicely complementing the well-developed Lewis acid catalyzed cycloaddition of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes. Other merits of the protocol include wide scope of aryl cyclopropanes with diversified substitution patterns and good functional-group compatibility. A mechanism involving an aryl radical cation promoted remote activation mode was also proposed and supported by mechanistic experiments.

Abstract
The work herein demonstrates the viability of an electrochemical oxidative protocol for the expedient realization of 1,3-fluorofunctionalization of arylcyclopropanes under catalyst- and oxidant-free conditions. Given the relatively low nucleophilicity of fluoride ion, the counterintuitive outcome that the ring-opening is initiated by nucleophilic fluorination is rationalized by invoking tight ion pair between aryl radical cation and BF4- counterion. By integrating alcohols, acids, and N-heterocycles as the terminating nucleophiles, straightforward 1,3-fluorooxygenation and 1,3-fluoroamination are smoothly achieved.

Abstract
Functionalizing molecules through the selective cleavage of carbon-carbon bonds is an attractive approach in synthetic chemistry. Despite recent advances in both transition-metal catalysis and radical chemistry, the selective cleavage of inert Csp3-Csp3 bonds in hydrocarbon feedstocks remains challenging. Examples reported in the literature typically involve substrates containing redox functional groups or highly strained molecules. In this article, we present a straightforward protocol for the cleavage and functionalization of Csp3-Csp3 bonds in alkylbenzenes using photoredox catalysis. Our method employs two distinct bond scission pathways. For substrates with tertiary benzylic substituents, a carbocation-coupled electron transfer mechanism is prevalent. For substrates with primary or secondary benzylic substituents, a triple single-electron oxidation cascade is applicable. Our strategy offers a practical means of cleaving inert Csp3-Csp3 bonds in molecules without any heteroatoms, resulting in primary, secondary, tertiary, and benzylic radical species.

Abstract
Recently, visible-light-mediated photoredox catalysis has been emerging as one of the fastest growing fields in organic chemistry because of its low cost, easy availability and environmental benignness. In the past five years, a new yet challenging trend, visible-light-induced redox-neutral carbon-heteroatom bond formation reaction involving presumed radical intermediates, has been flourishing rapidly. Although mostly transition metal-based photoredox catalysts were reported, a few organophotoredox catalysts have also shown efficacy towards carbon-heteroatom bond formation reactions. This review intends to summarize the recent research progress in redox-neutral carbon-heteroatom bond formations based on active intermediate(s) involved under photoredox catalysis.

Abstract
Fluorinated compounds have found widespread applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. Precise construction of α-difluoromethylene ether (CF2-O) moiety in organic molecules is of high demand. Herein, a visible light-promoted reaction protocol for the synthesis of α-difluoromethylene ether from gem-difluorocyclopropane is described. The key ring-opening step is induced by hyperconjugative interaction of cyclopropane with photo-oxidized aromatic rings. This reaction is easy scale-up, and the products bearing a synthetic handle enable their further manipulation.
