The electro-generation of acyl radicals from both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes remains an unmet challenge. We provide a solution to this challenge by merging electro-oxidation and a quinuclidine-mediated hydrogen atom transfer strategy. The generation of acyl radicals at decreased applied potentials compared to that of formyl oxidation exhibits excellent functional group compatibility.

Amino alcohols are vital in natural products, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, and as key building blocks for various applications. Traditional synthesis methods often rely on polar bond retrosynthetic analysis, requiring extensive protecting group manipulations that complicate direct access. Here we show a streamlined approach using a serine-derived chiral carboxylic acid in stereoselective electrocatalytic decarboxylative transformations, enabling efficient access to enantiopure amino alcohols.

Herein, we report Pd-catalyzed C(sp2)-H acylation using aldehyde as acyl source and O2 as the green oxidant at room temperature. A selective association of acyl radical formed in-situ during aldehyde autoxidation with Pd-catalysis is the key to the process. The reaction afforded products in good yields (up to 82%) and it is scalable.

Asymmetric -heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis is a cornerstone of synthetic organic chemistry. The emerging concept of single-electron NHC catalysis broadened the scope of C-C bond-forming reactions, facilitating the synthesis of a variety of attractive racemic compounds. However, the development of effective and selective chiral NHC catalysts for asymmetric radical-mediated reactions has been challenging.

Background: Oxidative stress is caused by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the depletion of free radical scavengers, which is closely related to ferroptosis in diseases. Quercetin, as a natural flavonoid compound, has been reported to have multiple pharmacological effects on the basis of its anti-oxidative and anti-ferroptotic activities. This study was designed to explore the specific mechanism of quercetin against ferroptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide (HO).
