By adoption of the enabling technology of modern photoredox
catalysis
and photochemistry, the generation of reactive and versatile pyridine N-oxy radicals can be facilely achieved from single-electron
oxidation of pyridine N-oxides. This Synopsis highlights
recent methodologies mediated by pyridine N-oxy radicals
in developing (1) pyridine N-oxide-based hydrogen
atom transfer catalysts for C(sp3)–H functionalizations
and (2) β-oxyvinyl radical-mediated cascade reactions. In addition,
recent research revealed that direct photoexcitation of pyridine N-oxides allowed for the generation of alkyl carbon radicals
from alkylboronic acids.

Cyclopropanes, valuable C3 building blocks in organic synthesis, possess high strain energy and inherent stability. We present an efficient, environmentally benign 1,3-oxyheteroarylation of aryl cyclopropanes using azine N-oxides as bifunctional...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
