Alkyl radicals are key intermediates in organic synthesis. Their classic generation from alkyl
halides has a severe drawback due to the employment of toxic tin hydrides to the point that …

Organosulfur functionalities are ubiquitous in nature, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals,
materials and flavourants. Historically, these moieties were introduced almost exclusively …

Photocatalytic carboxylation of alkenes with CO2 is a promising and sustainable strategy to
synthesize high value-added carboxylic acids. However, it is challenging and rarely …

The conversion of widely available carboxylic acids into versatile boronic esters would be
highly enabling for synthesis. We found that this transformation can be effected by …

The past decade has witnessed the emergence of N-(acyloxy) phthalimides (NHPI esters)
and its derivatives at the forefront of synthetic methods facilitating the construction of diverse …

Light alkanes are natural organic carbon sources and widely distributed in nature.
Transforming them into value-added fine chemicals affords attractively economic and …

Recent years have witnessed a resurgence of novel, efficient and practical protocols for
radical‐mediated cross‐coupling reactions involving N‐(acyloxy) phthalimides (NHPI esters) …

An operationally simple deaminative borylation reaction of primary alkylamines has been
developed. The formation of electron-donor–acceptor complexes between N-alkylpyridinium …

Carboxylic acids have gained more and more importance as versatile and renewable
starting materials for the formation of platform molecules or high-value chemicals. Many …

Herein, we report a conceptually novel borylation reaction proceeding via a mild
photoinduced decarboxylation of redox-activated aromatic carboxylic acids. This work …
