Single-electron reduction of a carbonyl to a ketyl enables access to a polarity-reversed platform of reactivity for this cornerstone functional group. However, the synthetic utility of the ketyl radical is hindered by the strong reductants necessary for its generation, which also limit its reactivity to net reductive mechanisms. We report a strategy for net redox-neutral generation and reaction of ketyl radicals. The in situ conversion of aldehydes to α-acetoxy iodides lowers their reduction potential by more than 1 volt, allowing for milder access to the corresponding ketyl radicals and an oxidative termination event. Upon subjecting these iodides to a dimanganese decacarbonyl precatalyst and visible light irradiation, an atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) mechanism affords a broad scope of vinyl iodide products with highZ-selectivity.

AbstractTraditionally, metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions rely on stable but expensive metals, such as palladium. However, the recent development of synthetic organic electrochemistry allows for in situ redox manipulations, expanding the use of cheaper, abundant and sustainable metals, such as nickel and copper as efficient cross-coupling catalysts. This short review covers the recent advances in metal-catalyzed electrochemical coupling reactions, with a focus on reactions of sp2 electrophiles and nucleophiles with sp3 coupling partners to form both C–C and C–heteroatom bonds.1 Introduction2 Nickel-Catalyzed C–C sp2–sp3 Coupling Reactions3 Coupling of Aryl Groups with Heteroatomic Nuclei4 Conclusion

ABSTRACTA mission to rendezvous with the rings of Saturn is studied with regard to science rationale and instrumentation and engineering feasibility and design. Future detailedin situexploration of the rings of Saturn will require spacecraft systems with enormous propulsive capability. NASA is currently studying the critical technologies for just such a system, called Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NEP). Electric propulsion is the only technology which can effectively provide the required total impulse for this demanding mission. Furthermore, the power source must be nuclear because the solar energy reaching Saturn is only 1% of that at the Earth. An important aspect of this mission is the ability of the low thrust propulsion system to continuously boost the spacecraft above the ring plane as it spirals in toward Saturn, thus enabling scientific measurements of ring particles from only a few kilometers.
