Herein we describe a Cu-catalyzed radical addition and oxidation cascade reaction for the chemo/regioselective synthesis of unsymmetrical indole trimers (isotriazatruxenes, -TATs) from easily available starting materials. The -TATs exhibited blue fluorescence in various solvents with different fluorescence intensities and showed good structural expansibility. A wider range of products could be used in optoelectronic materials by developing suitable derivatives.

Photomediated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (photoATRP) is an activator regeneration method, which allows for the controlled synthesis of well-defined polymers via light irradiation. Traditional photoATRP is often limited by the need for high-energy ultraviolet or violet light. These could negatively affect the control and selectivity of the polymerization, promote side reactions, and may not be applicable to biologically relevant systems.

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.

A copper-catalyzed hydrodechlorination of primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl chlorides using diisobutylaluminum hydride is reported. This catalytic system offers a broad substrate scope, high yields, and good functional group tolerance. Mechanistic investigations indicated that the reaction predominantly proceeds via a radical pathway, as supported by radical clock experiments.

Cu-catalyzed enantioconvergent cross-coupling of alkyl halides has emerged as a powerful strategy for synthesizing enantioenriched molecules. However, this approach is intrinsically limited by the weak reducing power of copper(I) species, which restricts the scope of compatible nucleophiles and necessitates extensive ligand optimization or the use of complex chiral scaffolds. To overcome these challenges, we introduce an aryl-radical-enabled strategy that decouples the alkyl halide activation step from the chiral Cu center.

Article Synopsis
- A new cyclization reaction has been developed combining O-acyl oximes, silyl enol ethers, and elemental sulfur, producing compounds like 2-aroylnaphthothiazoles and 2-aroylbenzothienothiazoles.
- The reaction likely proceeds via a radical mechanism with key intermediates such as S⋅ and an iminosulfur radical, leading to products through a series of steps including nucleophilic substitution and intramolecular cyclization.
- The resulting products show promising fluorescence properties, suggesting they could have useful applications in functional materials.
