A titanocene-catalyzed regiodivergent radical arylation is described that allows access to either enantiomerically pure tetrahydroquinolines or indolines from a common starting material. The regioselectivity of epoxide opening that results in the high selectivity of heterocycle formation is controlled by two factors, the absolute configuration of the enantiopure ligands of the (C H R) TiX catalyst and the inorganic ligand X (X=Cl, OTs). The overall reaction is atom-economical and constitutes a radical Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

Arylethylamines represent a privileged scaffold in pharmaceutical compounds and form the backbone of many medical drugs, including those used for treating neurological diseases and pain. Their biomedical significance has inspired new synthetic methods that rely on transition metal-catalyzed aminoarylation reaction to an alkene, often in conjunction with a photoredox catalyst or a photosensitizer, and guided by a directing or stabilizing group. Here, we introduce a simple and effective method for azidoarylation of unactivated alkenes under transition metal-free conditions.

Arylborane complexes ligated by N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) can be synthesized by photoirradiation of a mixture of NHC-boranes and sulfonyl(hetero)arenes. The reaction occurs under mild and convenient conditions without any photocatalyst, which are realized by a radical chain mechanism involving NHC-boryl radicals and sulfonyl radicals. This reaction offered the opportunity to reveal the photophysical property of a 2-borylnaphtho[1,2-]thiazole derivative.

Recently, metallaphotoredox-catalyzed alkene dicarbofunctionalization reactions have been extensively investigated. Most cases are related to alkyl-arylation processes by conjugate coupling of alkyl radical precursors and aryl electrophiles across alkenes. By contrast, reported examples of alkylvinylation by coupling of vinyl electrophiles are largely limited.

Article Synopsis
- The study presents a method for selectively dehydrogenating and heteroarylating amides using photoexcited triplet ketone catalysis under mild conditions.
- Aryl radicals are generated through a halogen atom transfer (XAT) mechanism, followed by an intramolecular 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) to form α-amido alkyl radicals.
- These alkyl radicals can then react with cobalt or reduced cyano arene radicals to produce dehydrogenated or heteroarylated products in good yields.

The direct use of readily available aldehydes as acyl radical precursors has facilitated diverse three-component acylative difunctionalization reactions of alkenes, offering a powerful route to synthesize β-branched ketones. However, asymmetric three-component acylative difunctionalization of alkenes with aldehydes still remains elusive. Here we report a copper-catalyzed asymmetric three-component radical acylarylation of vinylarenes with aldehydes and aryl boronic acids.
