Iminyl radicals are reactive intermediates that can be used for the construction of various valuable heterocycles. Herein, the electrochemical decarboxylation of α-imino-oxy acids for the generation of iminyl radicals has been accomplished under exogenous-oxidant- and metal-free conditions through the use of BuNBr as a mediator. The resulting iminyl radicals undergo intramolecular cyclization smoothly with the adjacent (hetero)arenes to afford a series of indole-fused polycyclic compounds.

Radical-mediated dearomatization strategies offer a blueprint for building value-added and synthetically valuable three-dimensional skeletons from readily available aromatic starting materials. Herein, we report a novel strategy by leveraging benzene-linked O-oxime esters as triply functionalized precursors to form two distinct persistent radicals under a chemodivergent pathway. These radicals then couple with a cyclohexadienyl radical for either carboamination or carbo-aminoalkylation.

Aminophosphonates serve as extremely important moieties with respect to their activities in biological systems. However, incorporating a Nitrogen and Phosphorus moiety by conventional techniques in ionic mode is usually associated with extensive prefunctionalization of the substrates, employing harsh conditions and reagents that limit the viability of these methods. Introducing both of these components as radicals may be a viable option.

We report an efficient photocatalytic protocol for the defluorocyanoalkylation and defluoroacylation of α-trifluoromethyl styrenes by utilizing oxime esters as radical donors, allowing for the preparation of diverse -difluoroalkenes. The treatment of α-trifluoromethyl styrenes with cyclobutanone oxime esters led to the formation of distal cyano group-anchored -difluoroalkenes. Notably, adding KCO as an inorganic base to the photocatalytic system afforded γ,γ-difluoroallylic ketones by utilizing acyl oxime esters as the acylating agents.

Here, we present a metal-free photosensitized three-component reaction for the carboimination of alkenes based on oxime carbonates. Homolysis of oxime carbonates via light-mediated energy transfer enables the simultaneous generation of iminyl radicals and alkoxycarbonyloxyl radicals. The alkoxycarbonyloxyl and alkoxy radicals can act as an effective hydrogen atom transfer reagent, abstracting hydrogen atoms from alkanes and aldehydes, silanes, and phosphine oxide.

Herein, we present a strategy for promoting the cyclization of -aryl or alkenyl arylketone oxime ethers C-N bonds using TEMPO as a direct hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalyst. The reaction employs a green solvent and requires no introduction of metal additives. It only needs catalytic amount of TEMPO to drive the reaction.
