We disclosed a visible-light-induced alkylarylation reaction of unactivated alkenes via a metal-free radical addition/aryl translocation cascade sequence. Distal olefinic sulfonate was designed as a unique molecular scaffold allowing for a domino process to synthesize valuable alkylarylated alcohols in good yields with excellent diastereoselectivity, featuring mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, and excellent functional group tolerance. The mechanism investigation suggests that a visible-light-induced radical chain process dominates the cascade transformation.

Visible-light-induced three-component 1,2-alkyl-arylation of alkenes and alkyl radical addition/cyclization of acrylamides have been realized a photocatalytic halogen-atom transfer (XAT) process. This metal-free protocol utilizes readily available tertiary alkylamine as both an electron donor and an XAT reagent for the activation of alkyl halides using naphthalimide (NI)-based organic photocatalysts. This process features broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance under mild conditions, and could be effectively applied to a variety of medicinally relevant substrates.

We herein reported a novel photoredox-catalyzed three-component alkylarylation of vinyl arenes with alkylboronic pinacol esters (APEs) and cyanoarenes via radical addition/cross-coupling to construct 1,1-diarylalkanes. In this transformation, alkyl radicals were easily available by visible-light-induced oxidative N-H cleavage of morpholine, which used APEs as a radical precursor. Furthermore, this protocol exhibited a broad substrate scope, enabling various styrenes, APEs, and cyanoarenes, as well as bioactive molecule derivatives.

A visible-light-induced radical alkylarylation of -aryl bicyclobutyl amides with α-carbonyl alkyl bromides for the synthesis of functionalized 3-spirocyclobutyl oxindoles is described in which β-selective radical addition of the alkyl radical to -aryl bicyclobutyl amides forms a key radical intermediate followed by interception with intrinsic arene functional group. This approach can be applicable to a wide range of α-carbonyl alkyl bromides, including primary, secondary, and tertiary α-bromoalkyl esters, ketones, nitriles, and nitro compounds.

A visible-light-induced deboronative alkylarylation of acrylamides with organoboronic acids was developed. In this transformation, boronic acids could be activated by the organic photocatalyst of eosin Y, generating alky free radicals in high efficiency. A broad range of substrate scope was examined and a number of 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles were synthesized in high yields.
