The decarboxylative alkylation of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) based reactive esters with olefins has been achieved via an organocatalytic strategy. Control experiments and density functional theory calculations suggest that these reactions involve a boryl-radical mediated decarboxylation pathway, which is different from the single electron transfer involved in decarboxylative alkylation reactions reported

palladium complex catalyzes the title transformations, which are thought to proceed via a π‐allyl or π‐benzyl intermediate. The regioselectivity of the reaction (1,2‐ or 1,1‐difunctionalization) depends on the type of terminal double bond (conjugated or nonconjugated) in the substrate (see scheme) and appears to be controlled by the relative rates of β‐hydride elimination and transmetalation.

Triarylsulfonium salts are prompted to undergo efficient homolytic reduction by single electron transfer under mild photocatalytic conditions. The liberated arylradical can then participate in carbon‐carbon bond formation processes with allyl sulfones and activated olefins. Triarylsulfonium salts emerge as a valuable and alternative source of arylradicals for synthesis.
AbstractA transition‐metal‐free intermolecular coupling reaction of halocompounds with styrenes in the presence of NaH and 1,10‐phenanthroline was developed. This reaction afforded hydrocarbonated products with complete anti‐Markovnikov selectivity. The method allows the use of a wide range of halocompounds, including aryl and alkyl halides, and good functional group tolerance. Detailed mechanistic studies indicated that an anilide anion generated in situ by the NaH‐mediated reduction of 1,10‐phenanthroline works as an electron donor and a hydrogen source.
