Charging through the looking glass Asymmetric catalysis is a commonly applied technique to prepare just one of two mirror-image products in chemical reaction. But what if you already have compound want, stuck mixture left- and right-handed enantiomers? Shin et al. now show that light-induced electron transfer can trigger favorable succession proton hydrogen-atom steps, both which are susceptible biasing by catalysts, preferentially convert cyclic urea enantiomers into (see Perspective...
While heteroatom-centered radicals are understood to be highly electrophilic, their ability serve as transient electron-withdrawing groups and facilitate polar reactions at distal sites has not been extensively developed. Here, we report a new strategy for the electronic activation of halophenols, wherein generation phenoxyl radical via formal homolysis aryl O–H bond enables direct nucleophilic aromatic substitution halide with carboxylate nucleophiles under mild conditions. Pulse radiolysis...
A new strategy for catalytic deracemization is presented, wherein amine derivatives undergo spontaneous optical enrichment upon exposure to visible light in the presence of three distinct molecular catalysts. Initiated by an excited-state iridium chromophore, this reaction proceeds <i>via </i>a sequence favorable electron, proton, and hydrogen atom transfer steps that serve break reform a stereogenic C–H bond. The enantioselectivity these reactions jointly determined two...
