AbstractThe alkoxyl radicals have demonstrated superior hydrogen atom transfer reactivity in organic synthesis due to the strong oxygen–hydrogen bond dissociation energy. However, only the intermolecular hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and intramolecular 1,5-HAT have been widely studied and synthetically utilized for C(sp3)–H functionalization. This Account summarizes our investigations on the unusual 1,2-HAT reactivity of alkoxyl radicals under visible-light-induced reaction conditions for the α-C–H functionalization. Various mechanistic investigations were discussed in this Account to address three key questions to validate the 1,2-HAT reactivity of alkoxyl radicals.1 Introduction2 Could Aldehydes/Ketones Be the Sole Reaction Intermediate for the α-C–H Allylation? NO3 Is the Alkoxyl Radical Absolutely Involved in the Reaction? YES4 Does the 1,2-HAT of Alkoxyl Radicals Irrefutably Exist? YES5 Conclusion

AbstractOxygen-centered radicals (R1O•) are reactive intermediates in organic synthesis, with versatile synthetic utilities in processes such as hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT), β-fragmentation, radical addition to unsaturated carbon–carbon bonds, and rearrangement reactions. In this review, we focus on recent advances in the generation and transformation of oxygen-centered radicals, including (alkyl-, α-oxo-, aryl-) carboxyl, alkoxyl, aminoxyl, phenoxyl, and vinyloxyl radicals, and compare the reactivity of oxygen-centered radicals under traditional reaction conditions with their reactivity under visible-light-induced reaction conditions.

<div>We report here a catalytic, Markovnikov selective, and scalable synthetic method for the synthesis of saturated sulfur heterocycles, which are found in the structures of pharmaceuticals and natural products, in one step from an alkenyl thioester. Unlike a potentially labile alkenyl thiol, an alkenyl thioester is stable and easy to prepare. The powerful Co catalysis via a cobalt hydride hydrogen atom transfer and radical-polar crossover mechanism enabled simultaneous cyclization and deprotection. The substrate scope was expanded by the extensive optimization of the reaction conditions and tuning of the thioester unit.</div>

The generation of heteroatom-centred radicals followed by intramolecular 1,5-HAT and functionalisation of the translocated carbon-centred radical is an efficient way to functionalize chemo- and regio-selectively the remote unactivated C(sp3)–H bond.

A general protocol has been developed for the Markovnikov-selective intermolecular hydrofunctionalization based on visible-light-mediated Co/Ru dual catalysis. The key feature involves the photochemical oxidation of an organocobalt(III) intermediate derived from hydrogen atom transfer, which is supported by electrochemical analysis, quenching studies and stoichiometric experiments. This unique redox process enables the efficient branch-selective alkylation of pharmaceutically important nucleophiles (phenols, sulfonamides and various N-heterocycles) using a wide range of alkenes including moderately electron-deficient ones. Moreover, light-gated polar functionalization via organocobalt species was demonstrated.
