Photoredox-catalyzed decarboxylative alkylation of silyl enol ethers has been developed. Diverse functionalized aryl alkyl ketones were afforded in modest to good yields using N-(acyloxy)phthalimide as an easy access alkyl radical source under mild and operationally simple conditions. The excellent performance of drug molecules such as fenbufen and indomethacin and naturally occurring carboxylic acids such as stearic acid and dehydrocholic acid further demonstrated the practicability of the reaction.

Oxetanes are valuable motifs in medicinal chemistry applications, with demonstrated potential to serve as bioisosteres for an array of functional groups. Through the visible-light-mediated photoredox hydrodecarboxylation of 2-aryl oxetane 2-carboxylic acids this work enables access to the products of a [2+2]-photocycloaddition between alkenes and aryl aldehydes without the challenges associated with a traditional UV-light-mediated Paternò-Büchi reaction. Investigation into the hydrodecarboxylation mechanism reveals substrate-dependent modes of initiation under the conditions reported herein.

A novel and environmentally friendly photocatalytic strategy is presented for generating acyl radicals from benzoylformic acids, which are subsequently trapped by various sulfone-based SOMOphiles. This strategy provides a robust toolkit to access a variety of synthetically important functionalized aryl-ketone derivatives, which efficiently and directly construct acyl-S, acyl-Se, acyl-C, and acyl-N bonds. The broad substrate scope, excellent functional group compatibility, and mild reaction conditions make this protocol practical and attractive.

Photoredox-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction is an efficient strategy for the construction of organic molecules. Herein, we developed a method to synthesize α-arylthioanisoles by constructing C-S bonds in the presence of a Ru-photoredox catalyst. Thus, a series of α-arylthioanisole compounds were efficiently obtained through decarboxylative cross-coupling under mild conditions.

A photoredox-catalyzed sequential decarboxylative/defluorinative aminoalkylation of CF-alkenes with -arylglycines is described. This metal-free and redox-neutral protocol provided efficient access to the monofluoroalkenyl-1,5-diamines in good yields with excellent functional group compatibility. Mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction proceeds via a radical pathway with the -difluoroalkenyl amine as an intermediate.
