Bicycloalkanes, cubanes and their structural analogues have emerged as bioisosteres of
(hetero) arenes. To meet increasing demand, the chemical community has developed a …

Photocatalysis has become a prominent tool in the arsenal of organic chemists to develop
and (re) imagine transformations. However, only a handful of versatile organic …

The metal-catalyzed carbenoid-based N–H insertions of α-stabilized diazo compounds and
relative precursors serve as robust strategies for the formation of C–N bonds. However …

Controlling the ambident reactivity of thiocyanates in reaction manifolds has been a long-
standing and formidable challenge. We report herein a photoredox strategy for installing …

Abstract π‐π stacking and ion‐pairing interactions induced the generation of α‐amino
radicals under the irradiation of visible light without the requirement of an expensive …

Here, we report a general approach to the synthesis of the difluoroalkyl bicycloalkanes (CF2‐
BCAs), as structural surrogates of aryl ketones and ethers. The chemistry is driven by a …

In recent years, organic chemists have devoted a great deal of effort towards the
implementation of novel green photocatalytic synthetic protocols. To this end, the …

The challenges of light-dependent biocatalytic transformations of lipophilic substrates in
aqueous media are manifold. For instance, photolability of the catalyst as well as insufficient …

We disclose a catalytic photoredox carbobromination of unactivated alkenes with α-
bromocarbonyl compounds under blue-light-emitting diode (LED) light. The reaction …

The strong electron-donating ability in the photoactivated state and the structural flexibility of
organic anions have led to a growing interest in utilizing photoexcited organic anions as …
