“…Katritzky salts are pyridinium salts that are easily prepared by the condensation of primary amines with pyrylium salts. These salts can undergo a reductive deamination (via SET) to afford alkyl radicals . In 2020, Hong reported an NHC-catalyzed radical cross-coupling of aldehydes with pyridinium salts as the alkyl radical precursors (Scheme ).…”

Radical/radical cross-coupling reactions represent an
efficient
and straightforward approach for the construction of chemical bonds
and accordingly have drawn increasing attention over the past decades.
In order to achieve synthetically useful transformations, a persistent
radical should be coupled with a transient radical in accordance with
the persistent radical effect (PRE). However, known transient radicals
outnumber by far the known types of free persistent radicals, which
limits the widespread application of the PRE, until today. Thus, the
development of efficient cross-coupling reactions between transient
radicals has been in focus, and meanwhile transition-metal catalysis
has been successfully implemented to artificially prolong radical
lifetimes, allowing their utilization in formal radical/radical cross-couplings.
Complementary research in the field recently uncovered that organocatalytically
generated NHC-derived ketyl radicals are a type of catalytically generated
free persistent radicals. NHC-catalyzed radical transformations of
aldehydes and carboxylic acid derivatives have enabled the disclosure
of an ever-increasing number of interesting reactions, which are different
from traditional NHC-catalyzed ionic processes, offering otherwise
inaccessible activation modes. These discoveries have opened a door
to NHC organocatalysis for the manipulation of radical reactions.
Due to its obvious potential in synthetic organic chemistry, it is
timely to provide a perspective on this emerging field.

“…Aryl groups sophisticatedly mediate the bioactivities of drug compounds and physical properties of materials. 20 To validate the feasibility of arylboration protocols, Brown 21 initially focused on the arylboration of alkenes with aryl bromides and B 2 pin 2 under Ni-catalyzed conditions, which allowed for the highly stereoselective arylboration of unactivated olefins (Scheme 4). A simple nickel catalyst was used in these reactions that tolerated a wide range of cyclic or chain alkenes and substituted aryl bromides ( 1–7 ).…”
Alkenes represent one of the most useful building blocks for organic synthesis, owing to their abundance and versatile reactivity. Transition metal (Pd, Cu, Co, Ni, Fe, etc.) catalyzed difunctionalization of...
“…Among the known methods, those that employ functionalized precursors to deliver an alkyl group are the most prevalent. Alkylboranes are widely used for alkylation assisted by transition metals or strong oxidants. , The N -hydroxy phthalimide esters are alternative alkylating reagents formed by the combination of NHPI and the corresponding carboxylic acids. − Other reagents include alkylated dihydropyridines (DHPs) − and Katritzky salts. − Decarboxylative alkylation with corresponding carboxylic acids − and decarbonylative alkylation − with aldehydes are also well-explored. The development of alkylation strategies that do not require pre-functionalized precursors, harsh oxidizing conditions, or expensive/highly engineered photocatalysts represents an advancement in this area.…”
The development of excited-state palladium-catalyzed alkylative cyclization of acrylamides and the alkylation of quinoxalinones is described. The application of a variety of primary, secondary, and tertiary unactivated alkyl halides as alkyl radical precursors and the use of a simple catalyst system are the highlights of this reactivity manifold. The reactions exhibit wide scope, occur under mild conditions, and furnish the products in excellent yields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
