FeCl3/K2S2O8/Et3SiH system-mediated α-methylation of β-ketosulfones with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) was developed. In the overall process, DMF takes up the role of one methyl group in the generation of α-methyl β-ketosulfones via single carbon-carbon (C-C) bond formation under the reflux condition. Herein, a plausible reaction mechanism is proposed.

Organic electrosynthesis has become a green, efficient and sustainable alternative to traditional organic transformation for the redox reactions. In this connection, indirect electrolysis employing redox mediators is attaining increasing significance as it offers a chance to improve reaction selectivity and avoids the over-oxidation/reduction issues encountered in direct electrolysis. Triarylamines and triarylimidazoles, as representative organic molecular mediators, have attracted widespread attention in recent years due to the advantages of well-defined easy structural modification and tunable redox ability. Hence, in this minireview, the recent growth of triarylamine and triarylimidazole derivatives mediated electrochemical oxidation reactions were presented, highlighting the structural optimization, electrochemical performance and reaction mechanism of these organic mediators. Moreover, the photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic cases with these molecular mediators were also highlighted. To conclude, the current challenges and future prospects of this field are also discussed.

Monophosphine ligands based on C–N axially chiral N-Arylpyrrole backbones are prepared starting from amino acids and evaluated in Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitutions. 20.7- 99.9% ees are achieved in the reactions of rac-1,3-diphenylallyl acetates with O-, N- and C-nucleophiles. Ligand screening revealed that the steric hindrance from 3- or 4- position of the pyrrole is crucial for the enantioselectivity of the reaction. The synthetic utilization of the products was demonstrated by the transformation of one product by a gold-catalyzed oxidative rearrangement reaction.

The rapid development of photo-synergistic transition metal catalytic systems has provided a green paradigm to complement thermal transition metal catalytic methods. However, the most commonly used iridium or ruthenium complexes involve expensive in nature, in contrast to the abundant copper elements in the earth's crust, which are highly valued for their unique electronic structure and light-absorbing properties. Recently, the application of copper and photocatalytic synergistic strategies in radical cyclization reactions has progressed considerably, leading to a renaissance in the synthesis of functional natural products, drugs and their analogues, but summary work addressing this aspect has not been reported. In this review, we briefly analyze the effect of ligand choice on copper complexes and some inorganic copper salts and even on light sources. We then summarize the copper and photocatalytic synergistic strategies in radical cyclization reactions and classify them into three categories, C, N and O radicals, according to the class of the central atom of the radical in each work, and in each category will be elaborated in turn from coordination cyclization via Cu catalysts, direct radical cyclization and other cyclization mode. For individual more complex reactions, the mechanisms are explored and briefly discussed.

Here we reported the photo‐catalyzed C‐H alkylation of pyridyl‐substituted N‐benzyl anilines through nitrogen‐centred radical 1,5‐hydrogen atom transfer. A broad range of methylpyridyl‐substituted aniline and hydroxylamine acid derivatives were successfully transformed into the corresponding products in good to excellent yields without adding any base and metal. This protocol features mild reaction conditions, a broad range of substrates, remarkable functional group tolerance and simple operation procedure.

Alkynes are simple yet important organic feedstocks. The selenylation of alkynes is able to produce complex selenium‐containing compounds in a facile way. Although there are some reviews about the selenylation of alkynes, most of them focus on one specific reaction or what types of products that can be obtained. There is a lack of attention given to the various uses of different selenium reagents and their mechanisms. This review mainly focuses on recent advances (2013‐2023) based on diverse selenium reagents. Mechanisms and how the added reagents work will be discussed. Different reaction types, including difunctionalization, Se‐annulation, spiro‐cyclization, C‐Se coupling, click reaction will be recorded in this review. The regioselectivity can be achieved through various mechanisms, including radicals, seleniraniums or electrophilic cyclization. We hope it will do help for future research in this area.

Abstract. In synthetic carbohydrate chemistry, the modification of glycosyl radicals pathway stands as a central area of focus. The radical-based reactions often demonstrate remarkable compatibility with various functional groups owing to the mild initiation conditions. In particular, the identification of novel glycosyl radical precursors, combined with advanced reaction techniques, has substantially broadened the scope of glycosyl compound synthesis. Despite the presence of versatile donors, the synthesis of noble donors is still addressed as a synthetic need and challenges associated with sugar chemistry. Currently, a new class of glycosyl radical precursors has been developed which enables the production of C-, S-, O-, and N-glycosides efficiently. In this light, we highlight strategies towards bench-stable glycosyl sulfoxides, sulphone, and sulfite donors that can enable the site-, regio- and stereoselective transformation of protected or naked sugar synthons in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. Here, this review article covers the recent developments in the selective glycosyl radical diversification such as glycosyl alkylation, arylation, alkenylation, sulfuration, C-H activation, and DNA conjugation via the bench-stable donors along with mechanistic aspects, challenges, and future directions. 1.

Rieske dioxygenase enzymes can perform the cis‐dihydroxylation of aliphatic olefins, representing a potential green alternative to established methods of performing this important transformation. However, the activity of the natural enzymes in this context is low relative to their more well‐known activity in the cis‐dihydroxylation of aromatics. To enable the engineering of dioxygenase enzymes for improved activity in the dihydroxylation of aliphatic olefins, we have developed an assay system to detect the relevant diol metabolites produced from whole‐cell fermentation cultures. Optimization studies were carried out to maximize the sensitivity of the assay system, and its utility in the in vitro screening of enzyme variant libraries was demonstrated. The assay system was utilized in screening studies that identified Rieske dioxygenase variants with significantly improved activity in the dihydroxylation of aliphatic olefins relative to the wild‐type enzyme.
