Alkoxyl radicals are highly reactive species which rapidly react by hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) or β-fragmentation to afford a carbon-centered radical. We discuss herein how these RO· radicals can be efficiently trapped in an intermolecular manner by styrene derivatives when they are generated by photoredox catalysis from the corresponding N-alkoxypyridinium salts. This allows for the synthesis of valuable ethers with complete anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity.1 Introduction2 Anti-Markovnikov Alkoxylation of Alkenes: Background3 Addition of Alkoxyl Radicals to Styrenes4 Summary and Outlook

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.

A mechanistically distinct, Ni/photoredox-catalyzed arylation of unprotected, native thiols (e.g., cysteine residues) is reported – a process initiated through a visible light-promoted, hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) event under ambient conditions.
