<sub>A general strategy to access both aryl and alkyl radicals by photosensitized decarboxylation of the corresponding carboxylic acids esters has been developed. An energy transfer mediated homolysis of unsymmetrical sigma-bonds for a concerted fragmentation/decarboxylation process is involved. As a result, an independent aryl/alkyl radical generation step enables a series of key C-X and C-C bond forming reactions by simply changing the radical trapping agent.</sub>


The electron spin resonance method was employed to study the nature, concentration and kinetics of the disappearance under varying conditions of radicals produced in polyethylene by fast electron irradiation at 77°K. The predominant radical species at 77°K is the alkyl radical —CH 2 —ĊH—CH 2 —. On being warmed to room temperature it disappears rapidly, revealing a more stable un­identified radical. The kinetics of the decay at room temperature of both radicals was observed. Their stabilities were found to vary in polyethylene samples of differing physical and chemical properties. G values for these radicals are given. Comparison was made with spectra obtained under similar conditions with two pure paraffins and a pure olefin to evaluate the effect of crystallinity branching, molecular weight and unsaturation. In the olefin there is evidence for a build-up of allyl radicals due to the encounter of an alkyl radical with main chain unsaturation. This supports the view that alkyl radicals are mobile, and cross-linking occurs when two such radicals meet.

A new method for the preparation of (E)-β-alkylstyrene derivatives has been developed via the addition of benzyl or alkyl radicals to β-nitrostyrenes using di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) as the oxidant in the presence of Cu powder catalyst.

Despite their prevalence in organic synthesis, the application of boronic acids (BAs) as alkyl radical precursors in visible-light assisted photocatalyzed reactions has been limited by their high oxidation potential. This study demonstrates the remarkable ability of amide solvents viz. DMA (N,N-dimethylacetamide) to participate in hydrogen-bonding interactions with BAs, thus enabling the modulation of their oxidation potential towards the generation of alkyl radicals. The developed protocol is simple, robust and demonstrates broad applicability for alkylation, allylation and elimination reactions in batch and continuous flow. The application towards dehydroalanine allows the synthesis of unnatural amino acids. Furthermore, the chemo-selective generation of radical species from BAs, in the presence of boronic ester-containing molecules, is now feasible, endorsing plausible boron-selective (bio-) orthogonal modifications.
