Abstract
This article introduces a reductive coupling driven by visible-light, facilitating the synthesis of pyridine-substituted alcohols and amines through the reaction of aldehydes, ketones and imines with cyanopyridines. Hantzsch esters serve as reductants in this process, eliminating the need for transition-metals or photosensitizers. The method demonstrates extensive compatibility and finds utility in the late-stage functionalization of both natural and pharmaceutical products, offering a sustainable pathway for the diversification of chemical compounds.

Abstract
The ability to selectively introduce diverse functionality onto hydrocarbons is of substantial value in the synthesis of both small molecules and pharmaceuticals. In this endeavour, as a photocatalyst- and metal-free process, the electron donor-acceptor (EDA) strategy has not been well explored. Here we report an approach to aliphatic carbon-hydrogen bond diversification through an EDA complex constituted by HCl and SIV=O groups. As an efficient hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reagent, chlorine radical can be produced via a proton-coupled electron transfer process in this system. Based on this unusual path, a photo-promoted versatile aliphatic C-H functionalization is developed without photo- and metal-catalysts, including thiolation, arylation, alkynylation, and allylation. This conversion has concise and ambient reaction conditions, good functional group tolerance, and substrate diversity, and provides an alternative solution for the high value-added utilization of bulk light alkanes.

Abstract
A visible-light-induced metal-free trifluoromethylselenolation of aryl iodides and bromides with [Me4N][SeCF3] is described. The reaction was conducted at ambient temperature by successfully harnessing the light-sensitive SeCF3 reagent. Mechanistically, the EDA complexes between aryl halide and the -SeCF3 anion or the base might be formed and excited by light, which subsequently undergo intracomplex SET processes to generate aryl and •SeCF3 radicals as key intermediates, allowing a convenient and green access to various aryl trifluoromethyl selenoethers.

Abstract
Abstract
The modern synthetic chemistry heavily relies on the use of stoichiometric organometallic reagents to react with various electrophiles. The dependence on stoichiometric quantities of metals and often organic halides as precursors, in turn both produces copious amounts of metal halide wastes as well as leads to concerns on future metal sustainability. Inspired by the classical Wolff-Kishner reduction, our lab has recently developed a general strategy of

, directly using naturally abundant alcohols/aldehydes and ketones as feedstocks with the releasing of innocuous water and nitrogen gas. These reactions include 1,2-carbonyl/imine addition, conjugate addition, carboxylation, olefination, cross-coupling arylation/allylation, alkylation, hydroalkylation and C-heteroatom formations. This article provides a brief summary on this chemistry.

Abstract
A highly efficient visible light-induced regioselective and stereoselective oxysulfonylation of alkynes with arylsulfonate phenol esters has been developed. This photocatalyst- and metal-free method proceeds smoothly under very mild conditions and exhibits a broad substrate scope, providing (E)-β-phenoxy vinylsulfones in moderate to excellent yields. Mechanistic studies indicated the involvement of an electron donor-acceptor complex-mediated radical process.
