Iron made'em: iron(II) complexes such as FeCl(2) and [FeCl(2)(dppe)(2) ] (dppe=1,2-bisdiphenylphosphinoethane) are efficient precatalysts for the radical cyclization of unsaturated iodides and bromides in the presence of NaBH(4). Cyclic voltammetry studies suggests that the reaction occurs through a radical mechanism via an anionic hydrido iron(I) species as the key intermediate for the activation of the substrates by electron transfer.

Decyanation after α-functionalization by exploiting the inherent properties of cyano groups enables the strategic assembly of a carbon scaffold. Herein, we demonstrate an amine-ligated boryl radical-mediated cyano group transfer (CGT) strategy of malononitriles under photocatalytic conditions. This strategy allows for the cleavage of C(sp)-CN and the formation of C(sp)-D and C(sp) to realize decyanative deuteration and cyclization via radical-polar crossover.

Our previous research discovered that myricetin could effectively inhibit the formation of heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) in cantonese baked foods by trapping phenylacetaldehyde to form adducts. However, the structure and biological activity of these adducts were still unknown. In this study, we identified two myricetin-phenylacetaldehyde adducts from cantonese mooncakes, BYQ-2 and BYQ-3, using pre-HPLC.

A visible-light-induced deoxygenative alkylation/cyclization of acrylamides with alcohols activated by CS has been developed by using xanthate salts as alkyl radical precursors in the presence of tricyclohexylphosphine. It proceeds through a tandem radical addition/cyclization process, and this protocol provides a reliable and practical approach to building the skeleton of 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles in moderate to good yields. Notable features of this reaction include readily available starting reagents, broad substrate scope and mild reaction conditions.

Recent advances in redox flow batteries have made them a viable option for grid-scale energy storage, however they exhibit low energy density. One way to boost energy density is by increasing the cell potential using a nonaqueous system. Molecular engineering has proven to be an effective strategy to develop redox-active compounds with extreme potentials but these are usually challenged by resource sustainability of the newly developed redox materials.

A ferrocene-catalyzed cyanoalkylsulfonylative radical cascade cyclization of aryl 1,6-diynes using cycloketone oxime esters and DABCO.(SO₂)₂ (DABSO) is reported. The reaction proceeds with notable chemo- and regioselectivity, without requiring additional oxidants or reductants.
