Visible-light-induced C(sp³)–C(sp³) bond formationviaradical/radical cross-coupling

Abstract

Radical/radical cross-coupling remains challenging due to diffusion control issues. Herein, we report a visible-light-induced radical/radical cross-coupling reaction of quaternary ammonium salts and Hantzschs via C-N and C-C bond cleavage. The...

Silyl Radical as an Isocyanide Transfer Agent for Giese-Type Reactions Involving Aliphatic Amines

“…Our previous efforts toward C–N activation relied upon arylbenzylammonium salts wherein chemo-selectivity for benzylic C–N bond was accomplished via electronic activation . Considering the resemblance of the alkyl groups and decreased reactivity of nonbenzylic C–N bonds, activation of nonbenzylic primary alkyl amines remains a huge challenge.…”
