Abstract
Visible light-induced radical umpolung chemistry is utilized to synthesize trifluoromethylated unnatural α-amino acid and amine derivatives. This approach utilizes photoredox catalysis to perform a single-electron-transfer reduction of imines generating a N-centred radical that eventually migrates to the C-centre followed by a radical-radical cross-coupling to deliver reductive trifluoromethylation products.

Abstract
N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are unique Lewis basic catalysts that mediate various organic transformations by means of polarity reversal. Although the scope of research on two-electron reactions mediated by NHC catalysts has been expanding, the types of these reactions are limited by the inability of NHCs to engage sp3-electrophiles. However, the revival of photocatalysis has accelerated the development of free-radical chemistry, and combining photoredox catalysis and NHC catalysis to achieve NHC-mediated radical reactions under mild conditions could overcome the above-mentioned limitation. This review summarizes recent advances in combining photoredox and NHC catalysis, focusing on elucidation and exploration of mechanisms, with the aim of identifying challenges and opportunities to develop more types of catalytic models.

Abstract
Herein, we report a mild, operationally simple, multicatalytic method for the synthesis of β,γ-unsaturated ketones via allylic acylation of alkenes. Specifically, the method combines N‑heterocyclic carbene catalysis, hydrogen atom transfer catalysis, and photoredox catalysis for cross-coupling reactions between a wide range of feedstock carboxylic acids and readily available olefins to afford structurally diverse β,γ-unsaturated ketones without olefin transposition. The method could be used to install acyl groups on highly functionalized natural-product-derived compounds with no need for substrate pre-activation, and C-H functionalization proceed with excellent site selectivity. To demonstrate the potential applications of the method, we convert a representative coupling product into various useful olefin synthons.

Abstract
Over the past decade, bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane (BCP) motifs have come to the fore as valuable pharmaceutical bioisosteres of para-disubstituted benzenes. However, the limited approaches and requisite multistep syntheses of useful BCP building blocks are hampering early discovery research in medicinal chemistry. Herein we report the development of a modular strategy for the divergent preparation of functionalized BCP alkylamines. In this process, a general method to introduce fluoroalkyl groups to BCP scaffolds using readily available and easy-to-handle fluoroalkyl sulfinate salts was also developed. Moreover, this strategy can also be extended to S-centered radicals for incorporation of sulfones and thioethers into the BCP core. Overall, this multicomponent strategy enables rapid construction of BCP-type bioisosteres for applications in drug discovery.

Abstract
We report here an organic dye catalyzed direct radical-radical cross-coupling reaction based on the persistent free-radical effect (PRE), which is powered by visible light and does not require any external oxidants or reductants. In this reaction, benzyl trifluoroborates are oxidized by excited-state 4Cz-IPN to generate benzyl radicals, and the resulting boron trifluoride acts as a Lewis acid to reduce the reduction potential of carbonyl compounds. The dual roles of benzyl trifluoroborates enable aldehydes, ketones, diketones, and ketone esters to react with benzyl trifluoroborates to generate various sterically hindered alcohols.

Abstract
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is one of the major limitations of glioblastoma therapy in the clinic. Nanodrugs have shown great potential for glioblastoma therapy. Herein, we purposefully developed a multicomponent self-assembly nanocomplex with very high drug loading content for curing orthotopic glioblastoma with synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy. The nanocomplex consisted of self-assembled pH-responsive nanodrugs derived from amino acid-conjugated camptothecin (CPT) and canine dyes (IR783) coated with peptide Angiopep-2-conjugated copolymer of Ang-PEG-g-PLL. Specifically, the carrier-free nanocomplex exhibited a high drug loading content (up to 62%), good biocompatibility, and effective glioma accumulation ability. Moreover, the nanocomplex displayed good stability and pH-responsive behavior ex vivo. Both in vitro and in vivo results revealed that the nanocomplex could effectively cross the BBB and target glioma cells. Furthermore, the combination of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy of the nanocomplex achieved a better therapeutic effect, longer survival time, and minimized toxic side effects in orthotopic glioblastoma tumor-bearing nude mice. Overall, we modified the chemotherapeutic drug CPT so that it could self-assemble with other molecules into nanoparticles, which providing an alternative for the preparation of the carrier-free nanodrugs. The results highlighted the potential of self-assembly nanodrugs as a novel platform for effective glioblastoma therapy.

Abstract
The widespread presence of secondary amines in agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, natural products, and small-molecule biological probes has inspired efforts to streamline the synthesis of molecules with this functional group. Herein, we report an operationally simple, mild protocol for the synthesis of secondary amines by three-component alkylation reactions of imines (generated in situ by condensation of benzaldehydes and anilines) with unactivated alkyl iodides catalyzed by inexpensive and readily available Mn2(CO)10. This protocol, which is compatible with a wide array of sensitive functional groups and does not require a large excess of the alkylating reagent, is a versatile, flexible tool for the synthesis of secondary amines.

Abstract
A protocol for stereoselective C-radical addition to a chiral glyoxylate-derived N-sulfinyl imine was developed through visible light-promoted photoredox catalysis, providing a convenient method for the synthesis of unnatural α-amino acids. The developed protocol allows the use of ubiquitous carboxylic acids as radical precursors without prior derivatization. The protocol utilizes near-stoichiometric amounts of the imine and the acid radical precursor in combination with a catalytic amount of an organic acridinium-based photocatalyst. Alternative mechanisms for the developed transformation are discussed and corroborated by experimental and computational studies.

Abstract
Alkyl radicals are key intermediates in organic synthesis. Their classic generation from alkyl halides has a severe drawback due to the employment of toxic tin hydrides to the point that "flight from the tyranny of tin" in radical processes was considered for a long time an unavoidable issue. This review summarizes the main alternative approaches for the generation of unstabilized alkyl radicals, using photons as traceless promoters. The recent development in photochemical and photocatalyzed processes enabled the discovery of a plethora of new alkyl radical precursors, opening the world of radical chemistry to a broader community, thus allowing a new era of photon democracy.

Abstract
The innate electrophilicity of imine building blocks has been exploited in organic synthetic chemistry for decades. Inspired by the resurgence in photocatalysis, imine reactivity has now been redesigned through the generation of unconventional and versatile radical intermediates under mild reaction conditions. While novel photocatalytic approaches have broadened the range and applicability of conventional radical additions to imine acceptors, the possibility to use these imines as latent nucleophiles via single-electron reduction has also been uncovered. Thus, multiple research programs have converged on this issue, delivering creative and practical strategies to achieve racemic and asymmetric α-functionalizations of imines under visible light photoredox catalysis.

Abstract
A redox-neutral alkyl Petasis reaction has been developed that proceeds via photoredox catalysis. A diverse set of primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyltrifluoroborates participate effectively in this reaction through a single-electron transfer mechanism, in contrast to the traditional two-electron Petasis reaction, which accommodates only unsaturated boronic acids. This protocol is ideal to diversify benzyl-type and glyoxalate-derived aldehydes, anilines, and alkyltrifluoroborates toward the rapid assembly of libraries of higher molecular complexity important in pharmaceutical and agrochemical settings.

Abstract
A novel Fe-catalyzed olefin hydroamination with aryldiazo sulfones for accessing alkylarylazo compounds has been successfully developed. Aryldiazo sulfones are used as radical acceptors, and N-N double bonds will be regenerated when an arene sulfonyl group leaves. The reaction features mild reaction conditions and a broad substrate scope, allowing access to many azo compounds that would be difficult or perhaps impossible to access using other methods.

Abstract
Benzylation reactions of N-tosyl imines and N-tert-butanesulfinyl imines using benzylboronic acid pinacol ester are reported. s-Butyllithium was used to activate the boronic ester, rendering it nucleophilic. The reaction was compatible with electronically diverse substituents on the imine in both substrate classes. Good diastereoselectivity was observed in additions to N-tert-butylsulfinylaldimines. The diastereoselectivity observed in these reactions is consistent with an open transition state for the addition. Examples of a secondary alkylboronic ester nucleophile and an N-tert-butanesulfinyl trifluoromethylketimine electrophile are also included.
