An urgent search is being made for generic reagents that promote free radical synthetic transformations as means of banishing the toxic threat of organotin hydrides. Although second-generation tin reagents are beguiling, organosilanes and a range of thiocarbonyl compounds are more intrinsically benign. Metal-free radical chain sequences based around cyclohexadiene derivatives are being developed (see reaction scheme), and tetrathiafulvalenes mimic metals and allow a crossover from homolytic to ionic chemistry.

Objective: Adequate mental health service provision in rural and remote Australian communities is problematic because of the tyranny of distance. The Royal Flying Doctor Service provides air medical retrieval for people in rural and remote areas. The economic impact on both the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the public hospital system for mental health-related air medical retrievals is unknown.

Alkyl radicals are key intermediates in organic synthesis. Their classic generation from alkyl halides has a severe drawback due to the employment of toxic tin hydrides to the point that "flight from the tyranny of tin" in radical processes was considered for a long time an unavoidable issue. This review summarizes the main alternative approaches for the generation of unstabilized alkyl radicals, using photons as traceless promoters.
