In the competitive peroxidation of mixtures of two alkenes with Co(II)/O(2)/Et(3)SiH, it was found that the relative reactivities of the alkene substrates are influenced by three major factors:. (1) relative stability of the intermediate carbon-centered radical formed by the reaction of the alkene with HCo(III) complex, (2) steric effects around the C=C double bond, and (3) electronic factors associated with the C=C double bond. Consistent with results from simple alkenes, the chemo- and regioselective peroxidation of dienes was also realized. Depending on the diene structure, the product included not only the expected acyclic unsaturated triethylsilyl peroxides but also 1,2-dioxolane and 1,2-dioxane derivatives via intramolecular cyclization of the unsaturated peroxy radical intermediates.

Carboazidation and diazidation were carried out on 1,3-diene compounds using TMSN as the azide source and MeCN as the cyanoalkylation reagent. This method exhibits excellent functional group tolerance, a broad substrate range, and a short reaction time, providing an effective pathway for synthesizing valuable azides. Our report introduces an unprecedented strategy for the carboazidation and diazidation of 1,3-dienes, with mechanism studies indicating that the reaction involves a radical pathway.

A dual photoredox/cobalt-catalyzed protocol for chemo-, regio-, diastereo- and enantioselective reductive coupling of 1,1-disubstituted allenes and cyclobutenes through chemo-, regio-, diastereo- and enantioselective oxidative cyclization followed by stereoselective protonation promoted by a chiral phosphine-cobalt complex is presented. Such process represents an unprecedented reaction pathway for cobalt catalysis that enables selective transformation of the less sterically congested alkenes of 1,1-disubstituted allenes with cyclobutenes, incorporating a broad scope of tetrasubstituted alkenes into the cyclobutane scaffolds in up to 86 % yield, >98 : 2 chemo- and regioselectivity, >98 : 2 dr and >99.5:0.

Highly functionalized xanthenes possess an impressive range of bioactivities and daunting synthetic challenge due to their unique ring systems and stereocenters. Here, we report an unprecedented ketyl radicals-induced skeletal rearrangement reaction of spirodihydrobenzofurans, enabled by zero-valent iron as reducing agents via photoredox catalysis, facilitating the facile preparation of various highly functionalized xanthenes. The features of this protocol include high chemo- and regioselectivity, exceptionally mild conditions, a broad substrate scope, scalability to gram-scale quantities, and consistent delivery of good to excellent yields.
