This review describes the recent advances made in difluoromethylation processes based on
X–CF2H bond formation where X is C (sp), C (sp2), C (sp3), O, N or S, a field of research …

Chemically modified biomacromolecules─ ie, proteins, nucleic acids, glycans, and lipids─
have become crucial tools in chemical biology. They are extensively used not only to …

Sulfones are common, readily available reagents that have recently attracted attention as
versatile reagents for cross-coupling reactions. This Review summarizes advances in …

Radical–radical coupling, the selective reaction between two different radical species, has
contributed to the methodology for connecting bulky units. Light-driven N-heterocyclic …

Here we report a nonenzymatic glycosylation reaction that builds axial S-glycosidic bonds
under biorelevant conditions. This strategy is enabled by the design and use of allyl glycosyl …

Reforming sustainable 3d-metal-based visible light catalytic platforms for inert bulk chemical
activation is highly desirable. Herein, we demonstrate the use of a Brønsted acid to unlock …

Described here is a photodecaging approach to radical trifluoromethylation of biomolecules.
This was accomplished by designing a quinolinium sulfonate ester that, upon absorption of …

A visible light photoredox catalytic method for the selective cleavage of single strong C− F
bond in trifluoromethyl ketones is reported. Single electron reduction of trifluoromethyl …

Light-powered catalysis has found broad utility as a chemical transformation strategy, with
widespread impact on energy, environment, drug discovery and human health. A noteworthy …
