Abstract
Atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) reactions are crucial for the dual functionalization of unsaturated hydrocarbons. Radical generation, pivotal in ATRA, has seen advancements from thermal to photochemical methods. Recent focus on halogen-bonding-based radical generation, including our group's innovative photochemical approach, offers cost-effective alternatives to transition-metal-dependent photocatalysts. This eliminates the need for high-energy UV light, enhancing the efficiency with noncovalent interactions.

Abstract
Light-mediated processes have received significant attention, since they have re-surfaced unconventional reactivity platforms, complementary to conventional polar chemistry. γ-Lactones and cyclopropanes are prevalent moieties, found in numerous natural products and pharmaceuticals. Among various methods for their synthesis, light-mediated protocols are coming to the spotlight, although these are contingent upon the use of photoorgano- or metal-based catalysts. Herein, we introduce a novel photochemical activation of iodo-reagents via the use of cheap sodium ascorbate or ascorbic acid to enable their homolytic scission and addition onto double bonds. The developed protocol was applied successfully to the formal [3+2] cycloaddition for the synthesis of γ-lactones, traditional atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) reactions and the one-pot two-step conversion of alkenes to cyclopropanes. In all cases, the desired products were obtained in good to high yields, while the reaction mechanism was thoroughly investigated. Depending on the nature of the iodo-reagent, a halogen or a hydrogen-bonded complex is formed, which initiates the process.

Abstract
The discovery of new activation modes for the creation of carbon-centered radicals is a task of great interest in organic chemistry. Classical activation modes for the generation of highly reactive radical carbon-centered intermediates typically relied on thermal activation of radical initiators or irradiation with unsafe energetic UV light of adequate reaction precursors. In recent years, photoredox chemistry has emerged as a leading strategy towards the catalytic generation of C-centered radicals, which enabled their participation in novel synthetic organic transformations which is otherwise very challenging or even impossible to take place. As an alternative to these activation modes for the generation of C-centered radicals, the pursuit of greener, visible-light initiated reactions that do not necessitate a photoredox/metal catalyst has recently caught the attention of chemists. In this review, we covered recent transformations, which rely on photoactivation with low-energy light of a class of EDA complexes, known as halogen-bonding adducts, for the creation of C-centered radicals.

Abstract
We report the use of halogen bonding (XB) for the generation of aryl radicals from aryl halides under blue light irradiation and applied it in radical generation/1,5-hydrogen-atom transfer/radical cyclization cascade reactions for the synthesis of oxindoles and isoindolinones. On the basis of experimental studies, we propose that DBU can serve as a suitable XB acceptor with aryl halides for the formation of a photoactive electron donor and acceptor complex.

Abstract
Owing to their ability to induce excitation of specific molecular orbitals or initiate chemical reactions, photochemical reactions have the potential to be more effective at selectively activating target molecules than thermal reactions. The thermal reactions transfer thermal energy to activate molecules, which often leads to the activation of multiple molecular species, including undesired ones, resulting in non-selectivity. This nonselectivity may result in undesirable side reactions or decrease reaction efficiency. Additionally, photochemical reactions can induce selective activation by absorbing specific wavelengths of light. However, visible light-driven photocatalytic reactions typically require expensive transition metal catalysts or organic dyes, leaving plenty of room for improvement. To address the aforementioned issues, the photochemical properties of the main group elements, such as halogens, were optimized and methodologies for visible light-induced reactions were developed. Activation of molecular halogen, halogen-carbon bonds, and halogen bonding interactions were independently investigated and various methodologies were reported. These developed reactions are excellent methodologies that use inexpensive raw materials and are thus predicted to contribute significantly toward sustainability.
