Abstract
The radical Truce-Smiles rearrangement is a straightforward strategy for incorporating aryl groups into organic molecules for which asymmetric processes remains rare. By employing a readily available and non-expensive chiral auxiliary, we developed a highly efficient asymmetric photocatalytic acyl and alkyl radical Truce-Smiles rearrangement of α-substituted acrylamides using tetrabutylammonium decatungstate (TBADT) as a hydrogen atom-transfer photocatalyst, along with aldehydes or C-H containing precursors. The rearranged products exhibited excellent diastereoselectivities (7 : 1 to >98 : 2 d.r.) and chiral auxiliary was easily removed. Mechanistic studies allowed understanding the transformation in which density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided insights into the stereochemistry-determining step.

Abstract
Aryl transfer between heteroatoms was photochemically available through radical initiation followed by a bimolecular reaction. However, such an excited-state reaction has rarely been reported through a photoinduced intramolecular pathway in the π-conjugated systems. Herein, we found, for the first time, a clean photoinduced intramolecular aryl shift for imidazolyl-quinoline derivatives 2NQ (imidazophenanthrene) and 4NQX (imidazophenanthroline), of which the photoproducts are thermally reversible. Upon light irradiation of the studied compounds in solution, an appreciable blue fluorescence along with a gradual change in color appearance was observed, the photoluminescence and photoconversion quantum yields of which were shown to be competitive in the same excited state. We were able to harness the photoconversion quantum yields of the NQ compounds with facile electronic modifications. These, in combination with time-resolved studies on the NQ compounds, gave an oxygen-insensitive aryl transfer rate within 1-100 ns. The anomalously slow intramolecular reaction rates were further proven to be associated with the ∼5.0 kcal/mol transition free energy. The photoproducts NQ_rs were isolated, identified by X-ray analyses, and also shown to demonstrate anti-Vavilov reverse reactions back to the NQ compounds in the higher-lying excited state. The discovery of photoinduced intramolecular aryl transfer paves a new pathway in the synthetic field, which may also be extended and far-reaching to solar-chemical storage under an appropriate design strategy.

Abstract
The replacement of fossil resources with biomass resources in the construction of N-heterocycles is rapidly attracting research interest. Herein, we report palladium-catalyzed selective hydrogenative coupling of nitroarenes and phenols based on a transfer hydrogenation strategy, allowing straightforward access to spirocyclic pyrrolo- and indolo-fused quinoxalines, a class of compounds found in numerous natural alkaloids. The synthetic protocol is characterized by a broad substrate scope and the utilization of biomass-derived reactants and commercially available catalysts. In such transformations, high-pressure and explosive hydrogen are not required. This report provides a new protocol for converting biomass-derived phenols into value-added nitrogen-containing chemicals.

Abstract
A visible-light-induced, transition-metal and photosensitizer-free cross-coupling of aryl iodides with hydrazones was developed. In this strategy, hydrazones were used as alternatives to organometallic reagents, in the absence of a transition metal or an external photosensitizer, making this cross-coupling mild and green. The protocol was compatible with a variety of functionalities, including methyl, methoxy, trifluoromethyl, halogen, and heteroaromatic rings. Mechanistic investigations showed that the association of the hydrazone anion with aryl halides formed an electron donor–acceptor complex, which when excited with visible light generated an aryl radical via single-electron transfer. Visible-light-induced catalyst-free cross-coupling of aryl iodides with hydrazones via single-electron-transfer was reported. The mechanistic investigations showed that the association of hydrazone anion with aryl iodides formed an EDA complex.![]()

Abstract
Radical aryl migrations are powerful techniques to forge new bonds in aromatic compounds. The growing popularity of photoredox catalysis has led to an influx of novel strategies to initiate and control aryl migration starting from widely available radical precursors. This review encapsulates progress in radical aryl migration enabled by photochemical methods─particularly photoredox catalysis─since 2015. Special attention is paid to descriptions of scope, mechanism, and synthetic applications of each method.

Abstract
The decarbonylative-coupling reaction is generally promoted by transition metals (via organometallic complexes) or peroxides (via radical intermediates), often at high temperatures to facilitate the CO release. Herein, a visible-light-induced, transition metal and external photosensitizer free decarbonylative addition of benzaldehydes to ketones/aldehydes at room temperature is reported. Tertiary/secondary alcohols were obtained in moderate to excellent yields promoted by using CsF under mild conditions. The detailed mechanistic investigation showed that the reaction proceeded through photoexcitation–decarbonylation of the aldehyde to generate an aromatic anion, followed by its addition to ketones/aldehydes. The reaction mechanism was verified by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. A visible-light-induced, transition-metal and external photosensitizer free decarbonylative addition of benzaldehydes to ketones/aldehydes via anion intermediates at room temperature is developed.![]()

Abstract
Rearrangement reactions, one of the most significant transformations in organic chemistry, play an irreplaceable role in improving synthetic efficiency and molecular complexity. Concomitant cleavage and reconstruction of chemical bonds can display the great artistry and the glamour of synthetic chemistry. Over the past century, ionic rearrangement reactions, in particular those involving cationic pathways, have represented most of the research. Alongside the renaissance of radical chemistry, radical-mediated rearrangements have recently seen a rapid increase of attention from the chemical community. Many new radical rearrangements that extensively reveal the migratory behaviour of functional groups have been unveiled in the last decade. This Review provides a comprehensive perspective on the area from the past to present achievements, and brings up the prospects that may inspire colleagues to develop more useful synthetic tools based on radical rearrangements.

The strategically designed arylbenzothiazolylether diazonium salts are harnessed as dual-function reagents. A vast array of alkenes are proven to be suitable substrates. The benzothiazolyl moiety in the products serves as the formyl precursor, and the OH residue provides the cross-coupling site for further product elaboration, indicating the robust transformability of the products.

Abstract
We introduce a highly efficient ligation system based on a visible light-induced rearrangement affording a thiophenol which rapidly undergoes thiol-Michael additions. Unlike conventional light-triggered thiol-ene/yne systems, which rely on the use of photocaged bases/nucleophiles, (organo)-photo catalysts, or radical photoinitiators, our system provides a light-induced reaction in the absence of any additives. The ligation is self-catalyzed via the pyridine mediated deprotonation of the photochemically generated thiophenol. Subsequently, the thiol-Michael reaction between the thiophenol anion and electron deficient alkynes/alkenes proceeds additive-free. Hereby, the underlying photoinduced rearrangement of o-thiopyrinidylbenzaldehyde (oTPyB) generating the free thiol is described for the first time. We studied the influence of various reactions conditions as well as solvents and substrates. We exemplify our findings in a polymer end group modification and obtained macromolecules with excellent end group fidelity.

Abstract
![]()
Recently, a new approach of converting
(hetero)aryl ethers to C–C
coupled products via a photoinduced intramolecular rearrangement has
been reported. Although this reaction is photocatalyst-free, it requires
excitation in the ultraviolet (UV) range. To help refine this process,
three different 2-(hetero)aryloxybenzaldehydes are selected from the
available substrate scope in which the general mechanism based on
experimental results is evaluated using density functional theory
calculations. The reaction takes place in the triplet state after
photoexcitation and includes three main steps: the addition of carbonyl
carbon to the ipso carbon of the aryl ether followed
by the C–O cleavage of the resulting spirocyclic intermediates
and then the transfer of the formyl proton to afford 2-hydroxybenzophenone-type
products. This agrees with the experiments, but the calculated pathways
show considerable differences between the three substrates. Above
all, either the first or the second step can be rate-determining but
not the C–H activation. The important factor behind the differences
is the spin-density rearrangement, which is mainly responsible for
the barrier of the ether cleavage. Based on the obtained insights,
the strategy to improve the ∼250 nm excitation has been briefly
discussed, and promising molecules are proposed to improve the scope
of this process.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions represent one of the most straightforward and efficient protocols to assemble two different molecular motifs for the construction of carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bonds. Because of their importance and wide applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, materials, etc., cross-coupling reactions have been well recognized in the 2010 Nobel Prize in chemistry. However, in the classical transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (e.g., the Suzuki-Miyaura, the Buchwald-Hartwig, and the Ullmann cross-coupling reactions), organohalides, which mainly stem from the nonrenewable fossil resources, are often utilized as coupling partners with halide wastes being generated after the reactions. To make cross-coupling reactions more sustainable, we initiated a general research program by employing phenols and cyclohexa(e)nones (the reduced forms of phenols) as pivotal feedstocks (coupling partners), instead of the commonly used fossil-derived organohalides, for cross-coupling reactions to build C-O, C-N, and C-C bonds. Phenols (cyclohexa(e)nones) are widely available and can be obtained from lignin biomass, highlighting their renewable and sustainable features. Moreover, water is expected to be the only stoichiometric byproduct, thus avoiding halide wastes.Notably, the cross-coupling reactions utilizing phenols/cyclohexa(e)nones are not based on the traditional transition-metal-catalyzed "oxidative-addition and reductive-elimination" mechanism, but via a novel "phenol-cyclohexanone" redox couple. This new working mechanism opens up new horizons of designing cross-coupling reactions via simple nucleophilic addition of cyclohexanones along with aromatization processes, thereby simplifying the design and avoiding laborious optimization of transition-metal precursors (e.g., Pd, Ni, Cu, etc.), as well as ligands in classical transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Specifically, in this Account, we will summarize and discuss our related research work in the following three categories: "formal oxidative couplings of cyclohexa(e)nones", "formal reductive couplings of phenols", and "formal redox-neutral couplings of phenols". The successes of these research projects clearly demonstrated our initial inspirations and rational designs to develop cross-coupling reactions without the "conventional cross-coupling conditions" by pushing the reaction frontiers from initial cyclohexanones, ultimately, to the sustainable phenol targets.

Abstract
AbstractSubstituted aromatic compounds play important roles in materials, biological agents, dyes, etc. Thus, the synthesis of substituted aromatic compounds has been a hot topic throughout the history of organic chemistry. Traditionally, the Friedel–Crafts reaction was a powerful tool for synthesizing substituted aromatic compounds. In recent decades, metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions were well developed via carbon–heteroatom bond cleavage, however, having difficulties towards some strong bonds, such as C(Ar)–OH. To overcome such challenges, newer strategies are needed. In this review, we summarize the recent efforts in the development of dearomatization–rearomatization strategy for cross-coupling reactions via C(Ar)–O bond cleavage.1 Introduction2 Dearomatization–Rearomatization Strategy for Cross-Coupling of Phenols3 Dearomatization–Rearomatization Strategy for Cross-Coupling of Biphenols4 Dearomatization–Rearomatization Strategy for Cross-Coupling of Diphenyl Ethers5 Dearomatization–Rearomatization Strategy for Cross-Coupling of Indoles6 Summary
