The quest to find milder and more sustainable methods to generate highly reactive, carbon-
centred intermediates has led to a resurgence of interest in radical chemistry. In particular …

Photocatalysis is an emerging approach for sustainable chemical production from
renewable biomass under mild conditions. Active radicals are always generated as key …

Carboxylic acids have gained more and more importance as versatile and renewable
starting materials for the formation of platform molecules or high-value chemicals. Many …

The search for greener alternatives to perform organic reactions has become the order of the
