Hydrogen-atom transfer mediated by earth-abundant transition-metal hydrides (M-Hs) has emerged as a powerful tool in organic synthesis. Current methods to generate M-Hs most frequently rely on oxidatively initiated hydride transfer. Herein, we report reductive approach Co-H, which allows for canonical hydrogen evolution reactions be intercepted hydrogen-atom an alkene. Electroanalytical and spectroscopic studies provided mechanistic insights into the formation reactivity of enabled...

We report a stereoselective formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition of cyclopropyl ketones and radical-acceptor alkenes to form polysubstituted cyclopentane derivatives. Catalyzed by chiral Ti(salen) complex, the occurs via radical redox-relay mechanism constructs two C–C bonds contiguous stereogenic centers with generally excellent diastereo- enantioselectivity.

We report Ti-catalyzed radical formal [3+2] cycloadditions of N-acylaziridines and alkenes. This method provides an efficient approach to the synthesis pyrrolidines, structural units prevalent in bioactive compounds organocatalysts, from readily available starting materials. The overall redox-neutral reaction was achieved via a redox-relay mechanism, which harnesses intermediates for selective C—N bond cleavage formation.

Alkyl chlorides are common functional groups in synthetic organic chemistry. However, the engagement of unactivated alkyl chlorides, especially tertiary transition-metal-catalyzed C–C bond formation remains challenging. Herein, we describe development a TiIII-catalyzed radical addition 2° and 3° to electron-deficient alkenes. Mechanistic data consistent with inner-sphere activation C–Cl featuring TiIII-mediated Cl atom abstraction. Evidence suggests that active TiIII catalyst is generated...

Ti(salen) complexes catalyze the asymmetric [3 + 2] cycloaddition of cyclopropyl ketones with alkenes. While high enantioselectivities are achieved electron-rich alkenes, electron-deficient alkenes less selective.

The utility of transition metal hydride catalyzed hydrogen atom transfer (MHAT) has been widely demonstrated in organic transformations such as alkene isomerization and hydrofunctionalization reactions.

Abstract Over the last fifty years, use of nickel catalysts for facilitating organic transformations has skyrocketed. Nickel(0) sources act as useful precatalysts because they can enter a catalytic cycle through ligand exchange, without needing to undergo additional elementary steps. However, most Ni(0) are synthesized with stoichiometric aluminum–hydride reductants, pyrophoric reagents that not atom‐economical and must be used at cryogenic temperatures. Here, we demonstrate Ni(II) salts...
