Abstract Sulfonium salts are playing an increasingly significant role in contemporary organic synthesis. In particular, the generation of radicals from sulfonium is a fundamental process Nature and has been subject investigation for over 50 years. However, general synthetic methods that use as radical precursors rare. The advent photoredox catalysis triggered upsurge interest chemistry this review surveys recent applications aryl‐ alkylsulfonium light‐mediated, C−C bond formation. magnified image
Abstract There is a pressing need, particularly in the field of drug discovery, for general methods that will enable direct coupling tertiary alkyl fragments to (hetero)aryl halides. Herein uniquely powerful and simple set conditions achieving this transformation with unparalleled generality chemoselectivity disclosed. This new protocol placed context other recently reported methods, applied simplify routes known bioactive building blocks molecules, scaled up both batch flow. The role...

The therapeutic properties of Curcuma (ginger and turmeric's family) have long been known in traditional medicine. However, only recently guaiane-type sesquiterpenes extracted from phaeocaulis submitted to biological testing, their enhanced bioactivity was highlighted. Among these compounds, phaeocaulisin A has shown remarkable anti-inflammatory anticancer activity, which appears be tied the unique bridged acetal moiety embedded its tetracyclic framework. Prompted by promising profile...
Reductive cyclizations of carbonyl compounds, mediated by samarium(II) diiodide (SmI2, Kagan's reagent), represent an invaluable platform to generate molecular complexity in a stereocontrolled manner. In addition classical ketone and aldehyde substrates, recent advances radical chemistry allow the cyclization lactone lactam-type substrates using SmI2. contrast, acyclic esters are considered be unreactive SmI2 their participation reductive is unprecedented. Here, we report diastereoselective...
This review focuses on recent developments from our laboratory in the field of radical reactions mediated by archetypal reductive single electron transfer (SET) reagent, SmI2. Namely, we have expanded scope reducible carbonyl moieties to esters and amides exploited resultant ketyl radicals cascade that generate unprecedented scaffolds. Moreover, taken first steps address long-standing challenges catalysis chiral ligand control associated with reagent.
