Abstract:Precisely regulating the chemoselectivity of free radicals and inhibiting their side reactions has always been one of the most difficult challenges in organic chemistry. Based on the full utilization of stability and philicity of free radicals, we have achieved a Radical-involved Paired Electrochemical Cascade Reaction (RPECR), which is also the first example of catalyst-free direct hydroxyarylation of unactivated benzylic carbon (sp3/sp2/sp). In detail, transient benzylic radical species generated by direct a… Show more
