AbstractThere have been significant advancements in radical reactions using organocatalysts in modern organic synthesis. Recently, NHC-catalyzed radical reactions initiated by single electron transfer processes have been actively studied. However, the reported examples have been limited to catalysis mediated by alkyl radicals. In this article, the NHC organocatalysis mediated by aryl radicals has been achieved. The enolate form of the Breslow intermediate derived from an aldehyde and thiazolium-type NHC in the presence of a base undergoes single electron transfer to an aryl iodide, providing an aryl radical. The catalytically generated aryl radical could be exploited as an arylating reagent for radical relay-type arylacylation of styrenes and as a hydrogen atom abstraction reagent for α-amino C(sp3)–H acylation of secondary amides.

A simple and efficient access to arylboronates was achieved with methanol-initiated borylation of aryldiazonium salts. Reduction of aryldiazonium ions by single electron transfer from methanol affords aryl radical species, which undergo a subsequent C–B bond formation with bis(pinacolato)diboron. This highly practical borylation process, which can be carried out on the gram-scale, enjoys operational simplicity as well as mild and catalyst-free conditions.

This review focuses on recent developments from our laboratory in the field of radical reactions mediated by the archetypal reductive single electron transfer (SET) reagent, SmI2. Namely, we have expanded the scope of reducible carbonyl moieties to esters and amides and have exploited the resultant ketyl radicals in radical cascade reactions that generate unprecedented scaffolds. Moreover, we have taken the first steps to address the long-standing challenges of catalysis and chiral ligand control associated with the reagent.

Cyclic voltammetry has revealed four reversible single electron transfer processes in the oxidation and reduction of diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) in tetrahydrofuran (THF). These are associated with a cation, a free radical, a monoanion, a dianion radical, and a trianion of DPPH.THF is a good solvent for cyclic voltammetry as evidenced by the stability of the products generated at the electrodes. It is also one of the few excellent solvents for anionic polymerization and is therefore a remarkably suitable medium for studies of electropolymerization phenomena.

In this work, we report a palladium nanoparticle-promoted reductive homocoupling of haloarenes, exhibiting a broad functional group tolerance. A mechanistic study was carried out, suggesting single-electron transfer processes on the metal surface.

Tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE 1), has been exploited for the first time as a mild reagent for the reduction of arenediazonium salts to aryl radical intermediates through a single electron transfer (SET) pathway. Cyclization of the aryl radicals produced in this way led, in appropriate substrates, to syntheses of indolines and indoles. Cascade radical cyclizations of aryl radicals derived from arenediazonium salts are also reported. The relative ease of removal of the oxidized by-products of TDAE from the reaction mixture makes the methodology synthetically attractive.

A novel divalent samarium complex anchored on a dianionic bis(phenolate) ligand is reported and reactivity studies demonstrate that it is highly effective in inducing single-electron transfer processes.
