Irradiation of Cp2TiCl2 with green light leads to electronically excited [Cp2TiCl2]*. This complex constitutes an efficient photoredox catalyst for the reduction of epoxides and for 5-exo cyclizations of suitably unsaturated epoxides. To the best of our knowledge, our system is the first example of a molecular titanium photoredox catalyst.
Directed metal (oxo) aliphatic C-H hydroxylations: Overriding substrate bias

The first general strategy for a directing effect on metal (oxo)-promoted C-H hydroxylations is described. Carboxylic acid moieties on the substrate overcome unfavorable electronic, steric, and stereoelectronic biases in C-H hydroxylations catalyzed by the non-heme iron complex Fe(PDP). In a demonstration of the power of this directing effect, C-H oxidation is diverted away from an electronically favored C-1 H abstraction/rearrangement pathway in the paclitaxel framework to enable installation of C-2 oxidation in the naturally occurring oxidation state and stereoconfiguration.
Axial and equatorial cyclohexylacyl and tetrahydropyranyl-2-acyl radicals. An experimental and theoretical study

(Chemical Equation Presented) Axial and equatorial cyclohexylacyl and tetrahydropyranyl-2-acyl radicals gave distinct EPR spectra thanks to surprisingly large β-hydrogen atom hyperfine splittings that enabled them to be characterized and monitored. DFT computations indicated that the axial species (X = CH2) had a higher barrier to rotation about the (O)Cα-Cα bond. The computed difference ΔH° for the axial and equatorial radicals (R = H, X = CH2) was 0.8 kcal mol -1.
