Abstract
Radical C-H functionalization represents a useful means of streamlining synthetic routes by avoiding substrate preactivation and allowing access to target molecules in fewer steps. The first-row transition metals (Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) are Earth-abundant and can be employed to regulate radical C-H functionalization. The use of such metals is desirable because of the diverse interaction modes between first-row transition metal complexes and radical species including radical addition to the metal center, radical addition to the ligand of metal complexes, radical substitution of the metal complexes, single-electron transfer between radicals and metal complexes, hydrogen atom transfer between radicals and metal complexes, and noncovalent interaction between the radicals and metal complexes. Such interactions could improve the reactivity, diversity, and selectivity of radical transformations to allow for more challenging radical C-H functionalization reactions. This review examines the achievements in this promising area over the past decade, with a focus on the state-of-the-art while also discussing existing limitations and the enormous potential of high-value radical C-H functionalization regulated by these metals. The aim is to provide the reader with a detailed account of the strategies and mechanisms associated with such functionalization.

Abstract
Manganese complexes stand out as promising candidates for photocatalyst design, attributed to their eco- and biocompatibility, versatile valence states, and capability for facilitating multiple electronic excitations. However, several intrinsic constraints, such as inadequate visible light response and short excited-state lifetimes, hinder effective photoinduced electron transfer and impede photoredox activation of substrates. To overcome this obstacle, we have developed a class of manganese complexes featuring boron-incorporated N-heterocyclic carbene ligands. These complexes enable prolonged excited-state durations encapsulating both Mn(IV) and Mn(III) oxidation stages, with lifetimes reaching microseconds for Mn(IV) and nanoseconds for Mn(III), concurrently exhibiting robust redox capabilities. They efficiently catalyze direct, site-selective cross-couplings between diverse arenes and aryl bromides, at a low catalyst loading of 0.5 mol %. Their proficiency spans an extensive array of substrates including both highly electron-rich and electron-deficient molecules, which underscore the superior performance of these manganese complexes in tackling intricate transformations. Furthermore, the versatility of these complexes is further highlighted by their successful applications in various photochemical transformations, encompassing reductive cross-couplings for the formation of C-P, C-B, C-S and C-Se bonds, alongside oxidative couplings for creating C-N bonds. This study sheds light on the distinctive photoredox properties and the remarkable catalytic flexibility of manganese complexes, highlighting their immense potential to drive progress in photochemical synthesis and green chemistry applications.

Abstract
C-1-deuterated aldehydes are essential building blocks in the synthesis of deuterated chemicals and pharmaceuticals. This has led chemists to devise mild methodologies for their efficient production. Ideally, hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDE) is the most effective approach. However, the traditional HDE for creating C-1-deuterated aldehydes often requires a complex system involving multiple catalysts and/or ligands. In this study, we present a mild photocatalytic HDE of the formyl C-H bond with D2O. This process is facilitated by chlorine radicals that are generated in situ from low-cost FeCl3. This strategy demonstrated a broad reaction scope and high functional group tolerance, affording good yields and ≤99% D incorporation. To bridge the gap between research and industrial applications, we designed a new flow photoreactor equipped with a high-intensity light-emitting diode bucket, enabling the synthesis of C-1-deuterated aldehydes on a scale of 85 g. Finally, we successfully produced several important deuterated aldehydes that are integral to the synthesis of deuterated pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
In the vast majority of top-selling pharmaceutical and industrial products, phenolic structural motifs are highly prevalent. Non-functionalized simple phenols serve as building blocks in the synthesis of value-added chemicals. It is worth mentioning that lignin, being the largest renewable biomass source of aromatic building blocks in nature, mainly consists of phenolic units, which enable the production of structurally diverse phenols. Given their remarkable applicability in the chemical value chain, many efforts have been devoted to increasing the molecular complexity of the phenolic scaffold. Among the key techniques, direct functionalization of Csp2-H is a powerful tool, enabling the construction of new Csp2-C bonds in an economical and atomic manner. Herein we present and summarize the large plethora of direct Csp2-H functionalization methods that enables scaffold diversification of simple, unprotected phenols, leading to the formation of new Csp2-C bonds. In this review article, we intend to summarize the contributions that appeared in the literature mainly in the last 5 years dealing with the functionalization of unprotected phenols, both catalytic and non-catalytic. Our goal is to highlight the key findings and the ongoing challenges in the stimulating and growing research dedicated to the development of new protocols for the valorization of phenols.

[PMID: 38183524 PMCID: PMC10771395 DOI: 10.1186/s41181-023-00234-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The 18F/19F-isotope exchange method employing P(V)-centered prosthetic groups demonstrates advantages in addressing mild one-step aqueous 18F-labeling of peptides and proteins. However, the molar activity (Am) achieved through isotope exchange remains relatively low, unless employing a high initial activity of [18F]F-. To overcome this drawback, our work introduces a novel approach through a Cu-mediated direct 18F-dehydrofluorination of phosphine oxides. This method leverages the straightforward separation of the 18F-labeled product from the phosphine oxide precursors, aiming to primarily increase Am. RESULTS Through a 19F-dehydrofluorination efficiency test, Cu(OAc)2 was identified as the optimal oxidative metal salt, exhibiting a remarkable 100% conversion within one hour. Leveraging the straightforward separation of phosphine oxide precursors and phosphinic fluoride products, the Am of an activated ester, [18F]4, sees an impressive nearly 15-fold increase compared to the 18F/19F-isotope exchange, with the same initial activity of [18F]F-. Furthermore, this Cu(II)-mediated 18F-dehydrofluorination approach demonstrates tolerance up to 20% solvent water content, which enables the practical radiosynthesis of 18F-labeled water-soluble molecules under non-drying conditions. CONCLUSIONS The direct 18F-dehydrofluorination of phosphine oxide prosthetic groups has been successfully accomplished, achieving a high Am via Cu(II)-mediated oxidative addition and reductive elimination.
