Radical intermediates in organic chemistry lack a full octet of electrons and, thus, are
commonly said to be electron deficient. By denotation, such a statement is technically …

Selective functionalization of ubiquitous unactivated C–H bonds is a continuous quest for
synthetic organic chemists. In addition to transition metal catalysis, which typically operates …

electrophilicity,, and the recently proposed inverse of the electrodonating power,,(J. Org …

Chemistry is the science of bond making and bond breaking. A thorough knowledge of these
processes in the course of the chemical reaction lies at the heart of any reaction mechanism …

Dynamic effects are an important determinant of chemical reactivity and selectivity, but the
deliberate manipulation of atomic motions during a chemical transformation is not …

Dearomatization reactions involving radical cyclizations can facilitate the synthesis of
complex polycyclic systems that find applications in medicinal chemistry and natural product …
