Design and implementation of the first (asymmetric) Fe-catalyzed intra- and intermolecular difunctionalization of vinyl cyclopropanes (VCPs) with alkyl halides and aryl Grignard reagents has been realized via a mechanistically driven approach. Mechanistic studies support the diffusion of the alkyl radical intermediates out of the solvent cage to participate in an intra- or -intermolecular radical cascade with the VCP followed by re-entering the Fe radical cross-coupling cycle to undergo selective C(sp2)-C(sp3) bond formation. Overall, we provide new design principles for Fe-mediated radical processes and underscore the potential of using combined computations and experiments to accelerate the development of challenging transformations.

The first iron-catalyzed three-component cross-coupling of unactivated olefins with alkyl halides and Grignard reagents is reported. The reaction operates under fast turnover frequency and tolerates a diverse range of sp2-hybridized nucleophiles, alkyl halides, and unactivated olefins bearing diverse functional groups to yield the desired 1,2-alkylarylated products with high regiocontrol. Further, we demonstrate that this protocol is amenable for the synthesis of new (hetero)carbocycles including tetrahydrofurans and pyrrolidines via a three-component radical cascade cyclization/arylation that forges three new C-C bonds.

We have developed a photoinduced oxidative cross-coupling of thiophenols with alcohols for O–S bond formation. The protocol uses visible light, a metal-free photocatalyst, and oxygen as the oxidant for the selective synthesis of alkyl benzenesulfonates; no ligand co-additive is necessary. Mechanistic studies suggested that the disulfide and alkyl benzenesulfinate are involved as intermediates and that the transformation proceeds by a radical pathway.
