The employment of light and/or electricity–alternatively to conventional thermal energy–
unlocks new reactivity paradigms as tools for chemical substrate activations. This leads to …

The advancement of sustainable photoredox catalysis in synthetic organic chemistry has
evolved immensely because of the development of versatile and cost‐effective reagents. In …

We present a new, unified approach for the transformation of benzylic and allylic alcohols,
aldehydes, and ketones into boronic esters under electroreductive conditions. Key to our …

Herein, we report a photocatalytic defluorocarboxylation of benzylic C (sp3)–F bonds using
formate salts as both a reductant and a carbon dioxide source. A variety of benzyl fluorides …

Carbon dioxide radical anion (CO2•–) is a highly reactive nucleophilic radical species that
has recently emerged in organic chemistry as a strong single electron donor (reductant) and …

The functionalisation of C–H bonds has been an enormous achievement in synthetic
methodology, enabling new retrosynthetic disconnections and affording simple synthetic …

Herein, we describe a general hydrodefunctionalization protocol of alcohols and amines
through a common isonitrile intermediate. To cleave the relatively inert C− NC bond, we …

Carbon–carbon (C–C) bond formation reactions play a pivotal role in organic synthesis.
Cross-coupling reactions are powerful tools for forging C–C bonds. One of the major …

The direct utilization of simple and abundant feedstocks in carbon‐carbon bond‐forming
reactions to embellish sp3‐enriched chemical space is highly desirable. Herein, we report a …

The progress of modern chemistry heavily relies on the profound comprehension and
sophisticated manipulation of reactive intermediates, such as carbanions, carbocations …
