We herein describe a simple approach for generating acyl radical from acyl chloride via photoinduced single-electron transfer. It has been demonstrated that the generated acyl radicals could react with various substrates, including isocyanides, methacrylamides, alkenes, alkynes, and enynes, to afford diverse heterocycles (>10 classes). Mechanistic analyses show that a photoactive charge transfer complex

Acylfluorides are versatile reagents in organic synthesis. However, there is no precedent to employ acylfluorides as acyl radical precursors. We herein report an N-heterocyclic nitrenium iodide salt-catalyzed photoreduction of acylfluorides to produce acyl radicals, which could react with 2-isocyanobiaryls to afford various carbonyl phenanthridines.
protocol for direct C–H alkylation and acylation of N-heterocycles, using readily accessible carboxylic acids as radical precursors under visible-light irradiation without a photocatalyst and an additional acid additive, has been developed. This protocol provides expedient access to substituted N-heterocycles under mild and metal-free conditions. Mechanistic experiments indicate that this reaction proceeds
