A new radical-mediated intramolecular β-C(sp)-H amidation reaction of O-alkyl trichloro- or arylimidates is reported. Various oxazolines were efficiently prepared from easily accessible alcohol starting materials. The trichloro-oxazoline products can be hydrolyzed under mild conditions to give valuable 1,2-amino alcohols. This amidation reaction exhibits a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance, and offers a powerful means for the C(sp)-H functionalization of alcohols. Mechanistic studies suggest that a sequence of 1,5-HAT of an imidate radical, iodination and cyclization might be operative.

Metathesis reactions that operate cleanly and reversibly under biocompatible conditions are crucial in diverse fields such as drug development, chemical biology, and dynamic combinatorial chemistry. This paper introduces an innovative strategy using the commercially available and cost-effective hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodobenzene (HTIB) as a radical initiator, enabling clean and bidirectional disulfide metathesis under biocompatible conditions. Our method facilitates efficient forward reactions by utilizing an excess of one disulfide to shift the equilibrium toward unsymmetrical disulfides, while also ensuring clean reverse reactions by the removal of low boiling point dimethyl disulfide.

Asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-fasicularin was achieved in nine steps from a commercially available inexpensive material, by leveraging (1) an aryl radical-mediated, copper-catalyzed Sonogashira-type cross-coupling, (2) a Au-catalyzed tandem intramolecular alkyne hydroamination/iminium formation/intramolecular allylation, and (3) a tandem hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis/intramolecular reductive amination as key transformations.

A catalyst-free radical-mediated domino strategy for the construction of isothiazolo[3,4-]--tetraarylporphyrins was developed. During the course of the reaction, 2-benzothioylamino-3-thioformyl--tetraarylporphyrins generated after the addition of Lawesson's reagent to a solution of 2-benzoylamino-3-formyl--tetraarylporphyrins in refluxing toluene underwent a homolytic cleavage to produce nitrogen-sulfur radicals. Subsequently, the formation of a new N-S bond through an intramolecular cascade radical coupling provided direct access to novel β-isothiazole-fused porphyrins.

An organocatalyzed photoelectrochemical method for the generation of acyl and phosphoryl radicals from formamides, aldehydes, and phosphine oxides has been developed. This protocol utilizes 9,10-phenanthrenequinone (PQ) as both a molecular catalyst and a hydrogen atom-transfer (HAT) reagent, eliminating the requirement for external metal-based reagents, HAT reagents, and oxidants. The generated acyl radicals can be applied to a range of radical-mediated transformation reactions, including C-H carbamoylation of heteroarenes, intermolecular tandem radical cyclization of CF-substituted -arylacrylamides, as well as intramolecular cyclization reactions.
