The halogen-atom transfer (XAT) is one of the most important and applied processes for the
generation of carbon radicals in synthetic chemistry. In this review, we summarize and …

Titanium is the second most abundant transition metal and is already a key player in
important industrial processes (eg polyethylene). Titanium is an attractive metal to use for …

Free radical intermediates have intrigued chemists since their discovery, and an ever-
increasing appreciation for their unique reactivity has resulted in the widespread utilization …

The pool of abundant chiral terpene building blocks (ie,“chiral pool terpenes”) has long
served as a starting point for the chemical synthesis of complex natural products, including …

The rapid generation of molecular complexity from simple starting materials is of paramount

A user-friendly approach is presented to sidestep the venerable Grignard addition to
unactivated ketones to access tertiary alcohols by reversing the polarity of the disconnection …

Low-valent early transition metals are often intrinsically highly reactive as a result of their
strong propensity toward oxidation to more stable high-valent states. Harnessing these …

Deoxygenative radical C–C bond-forming reactions of alcohols are a long-standing
challenge in synthetic chemistry, and the current methods rely on multistep procedures …

The potential use of circularly polarized luminescence for object identification in a sensor
