The scope of the Giese reaction is expanded using readily available alkyl tosylates as substrates and nucleophilic cobalt(i) catalysts under visible-light irradiation. The reaction proceeds preferentially with less bulky primary alkyl tosylates. This unique reactivity enables the regio-selective Giese reaction of polyol derivatives.

The rising popularity of bioconjugate therapeutics has led to growing interest in late-stage functionalization (LSF) of peptide scaffolds. α,β-Unsaturated amino acids like dehydroalanine (Dha) derivatives have emerged as particularly useful structures, as the electron-deficient olefin moiety can engage in late-stage functionalization reactions, like a Giese-type reaction. Cheap and widely available building blocks like organohalides can be converted into alkyl radicals by means of photoinduced silane-mediated halogen-atom transfer (XAT) to offer a mild and straightforward methodology of alkylation.

We have developed a glycosyl radical-based synthesis of -alkyl glycosides through a deoxygenative Giese addition-reduction-cyclization cascade, in which readily available 1-hydroxy carbohydrates serve as precursors for glycosyl radicals and aryl alkenes function as radical acceptors. This reaction not only provides an effective method for accessing a previously underexplored class of functionalized cyclopropanes but also enhances the application of Giese addition in the synthesis of -alkyl glycosides by derivatizing the radical intermediate generated through polar cyclization to yield a cyclopropane.

Article Synopsis
- * Traditional methods using ionic intermediates can be complex, especially for specific glycosides linked to amino acids, which are important in biological functions.
- * This study investigates new photoredox catalytic methods for synthesizing these compounds, using strategies like photoredox Giese reactions and photoredox glycosylations with selenoglycosides to achieve more efficient results.

Electrochemically induced, decarboxylative functionalization of chromone-3-carboxylic acids by N-hydroxyphthalimide esters as alkyl radical precursors was studied. Electrochemical protocol offers a sustainable and green approach, obviating the need for catalysts, relying on the direct reduction of NHPI esters using electric current. Developed protocol provides a straightforward route to the synthesis of diverse molecules with potential biological activity.

Previous light-mediated approaches to the direct decarboxylative Giese aroylation reaction have mainly relied on the use of a photocatalyst and a reductive quenching pathway. By exploiting a mechanistically distinct oxidative protocol, we have successfully developed a photocatalyst-free, light-mediated direct Giese aroylation methodology.
