Abstract
Controlling the site-selectivity of C-H functionalization is of significant importance and a formidable undertaking in synthetic organic chemistry, motivating the continuing development of efficient and sustainable technologies for activating C-H bonds. However, methods that control the site-selectivity for double C-H functionalization are rare. We herein report a conceptually new method to achieve highly site-selective C-H functionalization by implementing a radical single-out strategy. Leveraging the steric hindrance-sensitive CO-insertion as the radical differentiation process, a site-selective and stereoselective carbonylative formal [2 + 2] cycloaddition of imines and alkenes by sequential double allylic C-H bond activation was established without special and complicated HAT-reagents. This reaction was compatible with a wide range of alkenes and imines with diverse skeletons to deliver allylic β-lactams that are of synthetic and medicinal interest.

Abstract
1,4-cis-Disubstituted cyclic compounds play a pivotal role in pharmaceutical development, offering enhanced potency and bioavailability. However, their stereoselective and modular synthesis remains a long-standing challenge. Here, we report an innovative strategy for accessing these structures via mild conditions employing cyclic 1,3-dienes/alkyl(aryl)halides and amines. This procedure exhibits a wide substrate scope that tolerates various functional groups. The utility of this method is demonstrated in the efficient synthesis of a TRPV6 inhibitor, CFTR modulator, and other bioactive molecules. Combined experimental and computational studies suggest that the hybrid palladium-catalyzed radical-polar crossover mechanism is crucial for achieving exceptional 1,4-syn-addition selectivity (dr > 20:1).

Abstract
We report a user-friendly approach for the decarboxylative formation of stereodefined and complex tri- and tetra-substituted olefins from vinyl cyclic carbonates and amines as radical precursors. The protocol relies on easy photo-initiated α-amino-radical formation followed by addition onto the double bond of the substrate resulting in a sequence involving carbonate ring-opening, double bond relay, CO2 extrusion and finally O-protonation. The developed protocol is efficient for both mismatched and matched polarity substrate combinations, and the scope of elaborate stereodefined olefins that can be forged including drug-functionalized derivatives is wide, diverse and further extendable to other types of heterocyclic and radical precursors. Mechanistic control reactions show that the decarboxylation step is a key driving force towards product formation, with the initial radical addition under steric control.

Abstract
Photoinduced Pd-catalyzed bisfunctionalization of butadienes with a readily available organic halide and a nucleophile represents an emerging and attractive method to assemble versatile alkenes bearing various functional groups at the allylic position. However, enantiocontrol and/or diastereocontrol in the C-C or C-X bond-formation step have not been solved due to the open-shell process. Herein, we present a cascade asymmetric dearomatization reaction of indoles via photoexcited Pd-catalyzed 1,2-biscarbonfunctionalization of 1,3-butadienes, wherein asymmetric control on both the nucleophile and electrophile part is achieved for the first time in photoinduced bisfunctionalization of butadienes. This method delivers structurally novel chiral spiroindolenines bearing two contiguous stereogenic centers with high diastereomeric ratios (up to >20 : 1 dr) and good to excellent enantiomeric ratios (up to 97 : 3 er). Experimental and computational studies of the mechanism have confirmed a radical pathway involving excited-state palladium catalysis. The alignment and non-covalent interactions between the substrate and the catalyst were found to be essential for stereocontrol.

Abstract
A new strategy to obtain β,γ-unsaturated ketones via the cross-coupling of 1,3-butadiene, alkyl bromides, and arylboronic acids under 1 bar of CO with nickel as the catalyst has been developed. This newly developed four-component carbonylation procedure features advantages including using a cheap catalytic system, high step economy, mild reaction conditions, and excellent 1,4-regioselectivity, thereby providing a sustainable and alternative tool for β,γ-unsaturated ketones production compared to the present tactics. To elucidate the application potential of this method, olefin synthons are derived from the representative coupling product.

Abstract
Radical-involved multicomponent difunctionalization of 1,3-dienes has recently emerged as a promising strategy for rapid synthesis of valuable allylic compounds in one-pot operation. However, the expansion of radical scope and enantiocontrol remain two major challenges. Herein, we describe an unprecedented photoinduced copper-catalyzed highly enantioselective three-component radical 1,2-azidooxygenation of 1,3-dienes with readily available azidobenziodazolone reagent and carboxylic acids. This mild protocol exhibits a broad substrate scope, high functional group tolerance, and exceptional control over chemo-, regio- and enantioselectivity, providing practical access to diverse valuable azidated chiral allylic esters. Mechanistic studies imply that the chiral copper complex is implicated as a bifunctional catalyst in both the photoredox catalyzed azidyl radical generation and enantioselective radical C-O cross-coupling.

Abstract
Allylation reactions, often used as a key step for constructing complex molecules and drug candidates, typically rely on transition-metal (TM) catalysts. Even though TM-free radical allylations have been developed using allyl-stannanes, -sulfides, -silanes or -sulfones, much less procedures have been reported using simple and commercially available allyl halides, that are used for the preparation of the before-mentioned allyl derivatives. Here, we present a straightforward photocatalytic protocol for the decarboxylative allylation of oxime esters using allyl bromide derivatives under metal-free and mild conditions. This methodology yields a diverse variety of functionalized molecules including several pharmaceutically relevant molecules.

Abstract
We present comprehensive computational and experimental studies on the mechanism of an asymmetric photoredox/Pd dual-catalytic reductive C(sp3)-C(sp3) homocoupling of allylic electrophiles. In stark contrast to the canonical assumption that photoredox promotes bond formation via facile reductive elimination from high-valent metal-organic species, our computational analysis revealed an intriguing low-valent allylpalladium pathway that features tandem operation of Pd(0/II/I)-Pd(0/II/I/II) cycles. Specifically, we propose that (i) the photoredox/Pd system enables the in situ generation of allyl radicals from low-valent Pd(I)-allyl species, and (ii) effective interception of the fleeting allyl radical by the chiral Pd(I)-allyl species results in the formation of an enantioenriched product. Notably, the cooperation of the two pathways highlights the bifunctional role of Pd(I)-allyl species in the generation and interception of transient allyl radicals. Moreover, the mechanism implies divergent substrate-activation modes in this homocoupling reaction, suggesting a theoretical possibility for cross-coupling. Combined, the current study offers a novel mechanistic hypothesis for photoredox/Pd dual catalysis and highlights the use of low-valent allylpalladium as a means to efficiently intercept radicals for selective asymmetric bond constructions.

Abstract
We reported a novel electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) photocatalyst formed in situ from isoquinoline, a diboron reagent, and a weak base. To further optimize the efficiency of this photocatalyst, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to investigate the substituent effects on the properties of vertical excitation energy and redox potential. Subsequently, we experimentally validated these effects using a broader range of substituents and varying substitution positions. Notably, the 4-NH2 EDA complex derived from 4-NH2-isoquinoline exhibits the highest photocatalytic efficiency, enabling feasible metal free borylation of aromatic C-H bond and detosylaion of Ts-anilines under green and super mild conditions. These experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our strategy for photocatalyst optimization.

Abstract
A versatile titanocene-catalyzed radical allyl transfer reaction on epoxides is reported. Epoxide opening occurs regioselectively at the more hindered side, and variously substituted allyl sulfone may be coupled to this position in an efficient manner, enabling a rapid access to quaternary carbon centers with useful functionalities for further elaboration. Furthermore, the procedure can be expanded to stereoselective variants. This new radical allyl transfer expands the scope of allylation in organic synthesis.

Abstract
This research explores the enantioselective hydrosulfonylation of various α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds via the use of visible light and redox-active chiral Ni-catalysis, facilitating the synthesis of enantioenriched α-chiral sulfones with remarkable enantioselectivity (exceeding 99 % ee). A significant challenge entails enhancing the reactivity between chiral metal-coordinated carbonyl compounds and moderate electrophilic sulfonyl radicals, aiming to minimize the background reactions. The success of our approach stems from two distinctive attributes: 1) the Cl-atom abstraction employed for sulfonyl radical generation from sulfonyl chlorides, and 2) the single-electron reduction to produce a key enolate radical Ni-complex. The latter process appears to enhance the feasibility of the sulfonyl radical's addition to the electron-rich enolate radical. An in-depth investigation into the reaction mechanism, supported by both experimental observations and theoretical analysis, offers insight into the intricate reaction process. Moreover, the versatility of our methodology is highlighted through its successful application in the late-stage functionalization of complex bioactive molecules, demonstrating its practicality as a strategy for producing α-chiral sulfones.

Abstract
Herein, we report a visible-light-induced, palladium-catalyzed desaturation/sulfonation cascade, offering a concise route to a series of highly valuable 4-sulfonyltetrahydropyridine scaffolds from inexpensive and readily available piperidine derivatives with sodium sulfinates. The key to the success of this transformation is the well-designed sequence of palladium-mediated 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer/β-hydride elimination/allylic sulfonation process, which demonstrates the synthetic potentials for orchestrating synthetic events by rationally taking advantage of varied catalytic modes.

Abstract
The 6/6/5-fused tricyclic scaffold is a central feature of structurally complex terpenoid natural products. A step-economical cascade transformation that leads to a complex molecular skeleton is regarded as a sustainable methodology. Therefore, we report the first Mn(I)-catalyzed C(sp2)-H chemoselective in situ dienylation and diastereoselective intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction using iso-pentadienyl carbonate to access 6/6/5-fused tricyclic scaffolds. To the best of our knowledge, there is no such report thus far to utilize iso-pentadienyl carbonate as a substrate in C-H activation catalysis. Extensive mechanistic studies, such as the isolation of catalytically active organo-manganese(I) complexes, 1,3-dienyl-intermediates, and isotopic labeling experiments have supported the proposed mechanism of this cascade reaction.

Abstract
Flow chemistry has unlocked a world of possibilities for the synthetic community, but the idea that it is a mysterious "black box" needs to go. In this review, we show that several of the benefits of microreactor technology can be exploited to push the boundaries in organic synthesis and to unleash unique reactivity and selectivity. By "lifting the veil" on some of the governing principles behind the observed trends, we hope that this review will serve as a useful field guide for those interested in diving into flow chemistry.

Abstract
Although they offer great potentials, the high reactivity and diverse pathways of radical chemistry pose difficult problems for applications in organic synthesis. In addition to the differentiation of multiple competing pathways, the control of various selectivities in radical reactions presents both formidable challenges and great opportunities. To regulate chemoselectivity and regioselectivity, as well as diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity, calls for the formulation of conceptually new approaches and fundamentally different governing principles. Here we show that Co(II)-based metalloradical catalysis enables the radical chemoselective intermolecular amination of allylic C-H bonds through the employment of modularly designed D2-symmetric chiral amidoporphyrins with a tunable pocket-like environment as the supporting ligand. The reaction exhibits a remarkable convergence of regioselectivity, diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity in a single catalytic operation. In addition to demonstrating the unique opportunities of metalloradical catalysis in controlling homolytic radical reactions, the Co(II)-catalysed convergent C-H amination offers a route to synthesize valuable chiral α-tertiary amines directly from an isomeric mixture of alkenes.

Abstract
The iron-catalyzed coupling of alkenes and enones through allylic C(sp3)-H functionalization is reported. This redox-neutral process employs a cyclopentadienyliron(II) dicarbonyl catalyst and simple alkene substrates to generate catalytic allyliron intermediates for 1,4-addition to chalcones and other conjugated enones. The use of 2,4,6-collidine as the base and a combination of triisopropylsilyl triflate and LiNTf2 as Lewis acids was found to facilitate this transformation under mild, functional group-tolerant conditions. Both electronically unactivated alkenes as well as allylbenzene derivatives could be employed as pronucleophilic coupling partners, as could a range of enones bearing electronically varied substituents.

Abstract
Propylene gas is produced worldwide by steam cracking on million-metric-ton scale per year. It serves as a valuable starting material for π-bond functionalization but is rarely applied in transition metal-catalyzed allylic C-H functionalization for fine chemical synthesis. Herein, we report that a newly-developed cationic cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl complex allows for the conversion of propylene to its allylic C-C bond coupling products under catalytic conditions. This approach was also found applicable to the allylic functionalization of simple α-olefins with distinctive branched selectivity. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies supported the allylic deprotonation of the metal-coordinated alkene as the turnover-limiting step and led to insights into the multifaceted roles of the newly designed ligand in promoting allylic C-H functionalization with enhanced reactivity and stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed enantioselective free radical substitution reactions have recently attracted attention as convenient and important building tools in synthetic chemistry, although construction of stereogenic carbon centers at the propargylic position of propargylic alcohols by reactions with free radicals remains unchallenged. Here we present a strategy to control enantioselective propargylic substitution reactions with alkyl radicals under photoredox conditions by applying dual photoredox and diruthenium catalytic system, where the photoredox catalyst generates alkyl radicals from 4-alkyl-1,4-dihydropyridines, and the diruthenium core with a chiral ligand traps propargylic alcohols and alkyl radicals to guide enantioselective alkylation at the propargylic position, leading to high yields of propargylic alkylated products containing a quaternary stereogenic carbon center at the propargylic position with a high enantioselectivity. The result described in this paper provides the successful example of transition metal-catalyzed enantioselective propargylic substitution reactions with free alkyl radicals.

Abstract
The emergence of modern photocatalysis, characterized by mildness and selectivity, has significantly spurred innovative late-stage C-H functionalization approaches that make use of low energy photons as a controllable energy source. Compared to traditional late-stage functionalization strategies, photocatalysis paves the way toward complementary and/or previously unattainable regio- and chemoselectivities. Merging the compelling benefits of photocatalysis with the late-stage functionalization workflow offers a potentially unmatched arsenal to tackle drug development campaigns and beyond. This Review highlights the photocatalytic late-stage C-H functionalization strategies of small-molecule drugs, agrochemicals, and natural products, classified according to the targeted C-H bond and the newly formed one. Emphasis is devoted to identifying, describing, and comparing the main mechanistic scenarios. The Review draws a critical comparison between established ionic chemistry and photocatalyzed radical-based manifolds. The Review aims to establish the current state-of-the-art and illustrate the key unsolved challenges to be addressed in the future. The authors aim to introduce the general readership to the main approaches toward photocatalytic late-stage C-H functionalization, and specialist practitioners to the critical evaluation of the current methodologies, potential for improvement, and future uncharted directions.

Abstract
The catalysis by a π-allyl-Co/Ni complex has drawn significant attention recently due to its distinct reactivity in reductive Co/Ni-catalyzed allylation reactions. Despite significant success in reaction development, the critical oxidative addition mechanism to form the π-allyl-Co/Ni complex remains unclear. Herein, we present a study to investigate this process with four catalysis-relevant complexes: Co(MeBPy)Br2, Co(MePhen)Br2, Ni(MeBPy)Br2, and Ni(MePhen)Br2. Enabled by an electroanalytical platform, Co(I)/Ni(I) species were found responsible for the oxidative addition of allyl acetate. Kinetic features of different substrates were characterized through linear free-energy relationship (Hammett-type) studies, statistical modeling, and a DFT computational study. In this process, a coordination-ionization-type transition state was proposed, sharing a similar feature with Pd(0)-mediated oxidative addition in Tsuji-Trost reactions. Computational and ligand structural analysis studies support this mechanism, which should provide key information for next-generation catalyst development.

Abstract
An unprecedented copper-catalyzed cascade reaction of 1,6-enynes with sulfoxonium ylides is reported, providing a series of structurally intriguing 2,3-disubstituted indolines bearing a conjugated dienone functionality at the 3-position in moderate to excellent yields with good chemo-, regio-, and diastereoselectivities under mild reaction conditions. Importantly, sulfoxonium-ylide-derived copper-carbene herein exhibits quite different reactivity from that of diazo copper-carbene. A rational mechanism, an initial ammonium ylide rather than allene formation, is proposed.

Abstract
Photoredox catalysis has recently emerged as a powerful synthetic platform for accessing complex chemical structures through non-traditional bond disconnection strategies that proceed through free-radical intermediates. Such synthetic strategies have been used for a range of organic transformations; however, in carbohydrate chemistry they have primarily been applied to the generation of oxocarbenium ion intermediates in the ubiquitous glycosylation reaction. In this Review, we present more intricate light-induced synthetic strategies to modify native carbohydrates through homolytic C-H and C-C bond cleavage. These strategies allow access to glycans and glycoconjugates with profoundly altered carbohydrate skeletons, which are challenging to obtain through conventional synthetic means. Carbohydrate derivatives with such structural motifs represent a broad class of natural products integral to numerous biochemical processes and can be found in active pharmaceutical substances. Here we present progress made in C-H and C-C bond activation of carbohydrates through photoredox catalysis, focusing on the operational mechanisms and the scope of the described methodologies.

Abstract
Reaction discovery and catalyst screening lie at the heart of synthetic organic chemistry. While there are efforts at de novo catalyst design using computation/artificial intelligence, at its core, synthetic chemistry is an experimental science. This review overviews biomacromolecule-assisted screening methods and the follow-on elaboration of chemistry so discovered. All three types of biomacromolecules discussed─enzymes, antibodies, and nucleic acids─have been used as "sensors" to provide a readout on product chirality exploiting their native chirality. Enzymatic sensing methods yield both UV-spectrophotometric and visible, colorimetric readouts. Antibody sensors provide direct fluorescent readout upon analyte binding in some cases or provide for cat-ELISA (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay)-type readouts. DNA biomacromolecule-assisted screening allows for templation to facilitate reaction discovery, driving bimolecular reactions into a pseudo-unimolecular format. In addition, the ability to use DNA-encoded libraries permits the barcoding of reactants. All three types of biomacromolecule-based screens afford high sensitivity and selectivity. Among the chemical transformations discovered by enzymatic screening methods are the first Ni(0)-mediated asymmetric allylic amination and a new thiocyanopalladation/carbocyclization transformation in which both C-SCN and C-C bonds are fashioned sequentially. Cat-ELISA screening has identified new classes of sydnone-alkyne cycloadditions, and DNA-encoded screening has been exploited to uncover interesting oxidative Pd-mediated amido-alkyne/alkene coupling reactions.

Abstract
Allylations are practical transformations that forge C-C bonds while introducing an alkene for further chemical manipulations. Here, we report a photoenzymatic allylation of α-chloroamides with allyl silanes using flavin-dependent 'ene'-reductases (EREDs). An engineered ERED can catalyze annulative allylic alkylation to prepare 5, 6, and 7-membered lactams with high levels of enantioselectivity. Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy indicates that radical termination occurs via β-scission of the silyl group to afford a silyl radical, a distinct mechanism by comparison to traditional radical allylations involving allyl silanes. Moreover, this represents an alternative strategy for radical termination using EREDs. This mechanism was applied to intermolecular couplings involving allyl sulfones and silyl enol ethers. Overall, this method highlights the opportunity for EREDs to catalyze radical termination strategies beyond hydrogen atom transfer.

Abstract
Herein, a photoinduced palladium-catalyzed annulation of 1,3-dienes with bifunctional halognated alkylamines has been developed, offering a facile route to access a broad range of vinylpyrrolidines. The reactivity profile of this protocol was able to be readily manipulated to assemble vinylpyrrolidine and vinlysilaazacycle. Remarkably, the utility of this strategy was further illustrated in the construction of complex and biologically important molecules as well as the diversity-oriented transformations of the resulting product.

Abstract
Intermolecular photocatalytic hydroaminoalkylation (HAA) of alkenes have emerged as a powerful method for the construction of alkyl amines. Although there are some studies aiming at stereoselective photocatalytic HAA reactions, the alkenes are limited to electrophilic alkenes. Herein, we report a highly regio‐, diastereo‐, and enantioselective HAA of electron‐rich dienol ethers and α‐amino radicals derived from α‐amino acids using a unified photoredox and palladium catalytic system. This decarboxylative 1,2‐Markovnikov addition enables the construction of vicinal amino tertiary ethers with high levels of regio‐ (up to >19 : 1 rr), diastereo‐ (up to >19 : 1 dr), and enantioselectivity control (up to >99 % ee). Mechanistic studies support a reversible hydropalladation as a key step.

Abstract
Harnessing radical intermediates in regioselective reactions presents a substantial challenge. Here, we report a novel control strategy through engineering covalently tethered transition metal-photocatalysts that conjoin Pd-phosphine and Ru/Ir photoredox units. This strategy allows us to override the innate regioselectivity of the Pd-catalysed C-H allenylation of N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines.

Abstract
The direct functionalization of allylic C-H bonds with nucleophiles minimizes pre-functionalization and converts inexpensive, abundantly available materials to value-added alkenyl-substituted products but remains challenging. Here we report an electrocatalytic allylic C-H alkylation reaction with carbon nucleophiles employing an easily available cobalt-salen complex as the molecular catalyst. These C(sp3 )-H/C(sp3 )-H cross-coupling reactions proceed through H2 evolution and require no external chemical oxidants. Importantly, the mild conditions and unique electrocatalytic radical process ensure excellent functional group tolerance and substrate compatibility with both linear and branched terminal alkenes. The synthetic utility of the electrochemical method is highlighted by its scalability (up to 200 mmol scale) under low loading of electrolyte (down to 0.05 equiv) and its successful application in the late-stage functionalization of complex structures.

Abstract
Superbugs carrying a mobile colistin resistance gene (mcr) are jeopardizing the clinical efficacy of the last-line antibiotic colistin. The development of MCR inhibitors is urgently required to cope with antibiotic-resistance emergencies. Here, we show that silver (Ag+) fully restores the susceptibility of mcr-1–carrying superbugs against colistin both in vitro and in vivo. We found an unprecedented tetra-silver center in the active-site pocket of MCR-1 through the substitution of the essential Zn2+ ions in the intact enzyme, leading to the prevention of substrate binding (i.e. the dysfunction of MCR-1 in transferring phosphorylethanolamine to lipid A). Importantly, the ability of Ag+ to suppress resistance evolution extends the lifespan of currently used antibiotics, providing a strategy to treat infections by mcr-positive bacteria. Colistin is considered the last-line antimicrobial for the treatment of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacterial infections. The emergence and spread of superbugs carrying the mobile colistin resistance gene (mcr) have become the most serious and urgent threat to healthcare. Here, we discover that silver (Ag+), including silver nanoparticles, could restore colistin efficacy against mcr-positive bacteria. We show that Ag+ inhibits the activity of the MCR-1 enzyme via substitution of Zn2+ in the active site. Unexpectedly, a tetra-silver center was found in the active-site pocket of MCR-1 as revealed by the X-ray structure of the Ag-bound MCR-1, resulting in the prevention of substrate binding. Moreover, Ag+ effectively slows down the development of higher-level resistance and reduces mutation frequency. Importantly, the combined use of Ag+ at a low concentration with colistin could relieve dermonecrotic lesions and reduce the bacterial load of mice infected with mcr-1–carrying pathogens. This study depicts a mechanism of Ag+ inhibition of MCR enzymes and demonstrates the potentials of Ag+ as broad-spectrum inhibitors for the treatment of mcr-positive bacterial infection in combination with colistin.

Abstract
Despite the rapid progress in C-C bond-forming reactions using Katritzky salts, their deaminative allylation remains a challenge. Inspired by the metallaphotoredox-catalyzed allylic substitution regime, here, we report the deaminative allylation of Katritzky salts via cobalt/organophotoredox dual catalysis. This cross-electrophile coupling enables regioselective allylation using a variety of allylic esters, overcoming the substrate limitations of reported protocols. Mechanistic studies indicate the involvement of a π-allyl cobalt complex as a radicalophile that mediates C-C bond formation.

Abstract
Catalytic imino-ene-type allylation reactions of unactivated allyl compounds were achieved. In the presence of a catalytic amount of a strongly basic KOtBu-LiTMP or NaOtBu-LiTMP mixed system, the desired reactions proceeded smoothly at low temperature. Notably, a gaseous alkene, propylene, could also be used in this reaction system.

Abstract
Diradical generation followed by radical-radical cross-coupling is a powerful synthetic tool, but its detailed mechanism has yet to be established. Herein, we proposed and confirmed a new model named relayed proton-coupled electron transfer (relayed-PCET) for diradical generation, which could open a door for new radical-radical cross-coupling reactions. Quantum mechanics calculations were performed on a selected carbene-mediated diradical cross-coupling reaction model and a designed model, and the exact electronic structural changes during the radical processes have been observed for the first time.
