Decarbonylation at 60–80 °C! Readily available linear/branched aliphatic aldehydes were decarbonylated into 1°, 2° and 3° alkyl radicals at low temperature for cascade radical insertion and radical–radical coupling to construct C(sp3)–C(sp3) and C(sp3)–O bonds.

Carbon-Fluorine (C-F) bonds are considered the most inert organic functionality and their selective transformation under mild conditions remains challenging. Herein, we report a highly active Pt-Pd nanoalloy as a robust catalyst for the transformation of C-F bonds into C-H bonds at low temperature, a reaction that often required harsh conditions. The alloying of Pt with Pd is crucial to activate C-F bond. The reaction profile kinetics revealed that the major source of hydrogen in the defluorinated product is the alcoholic proton of 2-propanol, and the rate-determining step is the reduction of the metal upon transfer of the <i>beta</i>-H from 2-propanol. DFT calculations elucidated that the key step is the selective oxidative addition of the O-H bond of 2-propanol to a Pd center prior to C-F bond activation at a Pt site, which crucially reduces the activation energy of the C-F bond. Therefore, both Pt and Pd work independently but synergistically to promote the overall reaction

Visible light photoredox catalysis has recently emerged as a powerful tool for the development of new and valuable chemical transformations under mild conditions. Visible-light promoted enantioselective radical transformations of imines and iminium intermediates provide new opportunities for the asymmetric synthesis of amines and asymmetric β-functionalization of unsaturated carbonyl compounds. In this review, the advance in the catalytic asymmetric radical functionalization of imines, as well as iminium intermediates, are summarized. 1 Introduction 2 The enantioselective radical functionalization of imines 2.1 Asymmetric reduction 2.2 Asymmetric cyclization 2.3 Asymmetric addition 2.4 Asymmetric radical coupling 3 The enantioselective radical functionalization of iminium ions 3.1 Asymmetric radical alkylation 3.2 Asymmetric radical acylation 4 Conclusion

Herein, we report the formation of C(sp3)-centered radicals via the electro-induced homolysis of 4-alkyl-1,4-dihydropyridines (alkyl-DHPs). The resulting alkyl radicals reacted with hydroxy quinazolines or quinones to afford 2-alkyl dihydroquinazolinones or alkylated quinones. A broad range of alkyl DHPs could be used as versatile radical precursors under electrolysis conditions. This alterative strategy provided a simple and effective pathway for the construction of C(sp2)–C(sp3) and C(sp3)–C(sp3) bonds under mild conditions.

Chemoselective hydrogenation of aldehydes with heterogeneous catalysts under mild conditions is of great importance but remains a major challenge. Herein, an efficient strategy was developed for low temperature chemoselective hydrogenation of aldehydes with broad substrate scope over a magnetic material supported palladium catalyst (γ-Fe2O3@HAP-Pd). Aldehydes bearing various reducible functional groups readily underwent hydrogenation to give the corresponding primary alcohols with moderate to excellent yield at room temperature in aqueous solutions. The Hammett equation revealed that the hydrogenation of aromatic aldehydes proceeded via an anionic intermediate. Additionally, when the temperature increased to 70 °C, toluene was obtained by the deoxygenation of benzaldehyde in excellent yield. Furthermore, the γ-Fe2O3@HAP-Pd could be recycled up to six times without loss of activity and metal leaching.

A novel strategy has been developed for the synthesis of indoline-2,3-diones through a metal-free radical-coupling reaction. Alkyl radicals derived from indolin-2-ones through a radical-transfer reaction combine with the tert-butylhydroperoxy radical readily generated from commercially available tert-butyl hydroperoxide to afford 3-(tert-­butylperoxy)indolin-2-one intermediates that can be further transformed into indoline-2,3-diones under air. This strategy provides a ­simple and efficient route to the construction of a C=O bond without the use of any metal catalyst or base.
