Allylic amines are valuable synthetic targets en route to diverse biologically active amine products. Current allylic C–H amination strategies remain limited with respect to the viable N-substituents. Herein we disclose a new electrochemical process to …

Herein we disclose a new photochemical process to prepare carboxylic acids from formate salts and alkenes. This redox-neutral hydrocarboxylation proceeds in high yields across diverse functionalized alkene substrates with excellent regioselectivity. This operationally simple procedure …

Aziridines, three-membered nitrogen-containing cyclic molecules, are important synthetic targets. Their significant ring strain and resultant proclivity towards ring opening reactions makes them versatile precursors to diverse amine products and, in some cases, the aziridine functional group itself imbues important …

We describe a photocatalytic system that elicits potent photoreductant activity from conventional photocatalysts by leveraging radical anion intermediates generated in situ. The combination of isophthalonitrile and sodium formate promotes diverse aryl radical coupling reactions from abundant …
