The electrochemically induced reaction between alkenes, bearing an allylic hydrogen atom, and -hydroxyphthalimide was investigated. Cross-dehydrogenative C-O coupling with phthalimide--oxyl radical, derived from -hydroxyphthalimide, occurs instead of oxidation of the allylic site, with the formation of a carbonyl group or functionalization of the double C=C bond. The discovered transformation proceeds in an undivided electrochemical cell equipped with a carbon felt anode and a platinum cathode.

Electrochemically induced, decarboxylative functionalization of chromone-3-carboxylic acids by N-hydroxyphthalimide esters as alkyl radical precursors was studied. Electrochemical protocol offers a sustainable and green approach, obviating the need for catalysts, relying on the direct reduction of NHPI esters using electric current. Developed protocol provides a straightforward route to the synthesis of diverse molecules with potential biological activity.

We report the photocatalytic oxidation of α-carbonyl radicals of amides or esters to the corresponding α-carbonyl carbocations through super photoreductant CBZ6 induced redox-neutral photocatalysis. The α-carbonyl radicals are formed by the β-addition of alkyl radicals generated in situ by the photocatalytic fragmentation of N-hydroxyphthalimide esters to the α,β-unsaturated amides and esters. This method enables the α-nucleophilic addition of hydroxyl or alkoxyl radicals to amides and esters without any prefunctionalization.

Dithiocarbamate is a key structural sequence in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, and its synthesis is crucial in organic chemistry. Although significant progress has been made in related synthesis research, developing a practical and universal synthesis method remains fascinating. Herein, we report a new visible-light-induced decarboxylation coupling reaction between N-hydroxyphthalimide esters and tetraalkylthiuram disulfides, which uses Ir(ppy) as a photocatalyst to promote the generation of corresponding decarboxylation thioacylation product-dithiocarbamates in high yields.

We herein described a practical and efficient protocol for hydrodifluoromethylation of unactivated alkenes using readily available difluoroacetic anhydride as a difluoromethyl source by merging photocatalysis and -hydroxyphthalimide activation. This method features a wide substrate scope and excellent compatibility with various functional groups, as demonstrated by more than 50 examples, including bioactive molecules and pharmaceutical derivatives. Mechanism investigation indicated that -hydroxyphthalimide may also serve as the hydrogen atom donor.
