The C–O bond is ubiquitous in biologically active molecules, pharmaceutical agents, and
functional materials, thereby making it an important functional group. Consequently, the …

Direct difunctionalization of simple alkenes, the incorporation of two functional groups onto a
carbon–carbon double bond, is of particular interest to the chemical community owing to its …

Recent advances in the sulfonylation of alkenes via the insertion of sulfur dioxide are
summarized. The sulfur dioxide surrogate of DABCO·(SO2) 2 or inorganic sulfites is used in …

A photoredox approach to generate distal cyano-substituted alkyl radicals through C–C
bond cleavage of cyclobutanone oximes was developed. The radicals produced by this …

Herein, we disclose a strategy for the activation of N‐(acyloxy) phthalimides towards
photoinduced electron transfer through hydrogen bonding. This activation mode enables …

Photoinduced, copper-catalyzed coupling reactions are emerging as a powerful method for
generating Csp3–Y (Y= C or heteroatom) bonds from alkyl electrophiles and nucleophiles …

Difunctionalization of alkenes has become a powerful tool for quickly increasing molecular
complexity in synthesis. Despite significant progress in the area of alkene difunctionalization …

A three‐component carboetherification of unactivated alkenes has been developed allowing
the rapid building of complexity from simple starting materials. A wide range of α‐substituted …

This manuscript describes a visible-light-mediated organophotoredox catalytic process for
vicinal difunctionalization of alkenes using heteroatom nucleophiles and aliphatic redox …

Because of the lack of effective alkylating reagents, alkyl etherification of olefins with general
alkyl groups has not been previously reported. In this work, a variety of alkyl diacyl peroxides …
