the redox-neutral isomerization of cyclic alcohols to linear ketones via C-C bond scission. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that key alkoxy radical intermediates in this reaction are generated via the direct homolytic activation of alcohol O-H bonds in an unusual intramolecular PCET process, wherein the electron travels to a proximal radical cation in concert with proton transfer to a weak Brønsted base
我们报告了一种新的光催化协议,用于通过 CC 键断裂将环醇氧化还原中性异构化为线性酮。机理研究表明,该反应中的关键烷氧基自由基中间体是通过在不寻常的分子内 PCET 过程中通过醇 OH 键的直接均裂活化而产生的,其中电子传播到邻近的自由基阳离子,同时质子转移到弱的布朗斯台德碱。显示有效的键强度考虑因素可以准确预测使用给定氧化剂/碱基对生成烷氧基自由基的可行性。

A new direction: The nucleophilic ortho‐propargylation of aryl sulfoxides exploits intermolecular delivery of the nucleophile to sulfur followed by an intramolecular relay to carbon (see scheme). The simple, metal‐free procedure is general, regiospecific with regard to the propargyl nucleophile, and completely selective for products of ortho‐propargylation over allenylation.
A method was developed for the synthesis of 2-acylbenzo[b]thiophenes via a copper-catalyzed sulfuration of 3-(2-iodophenyl)-1-arylpropan-1-ones with K2S.
