We report a radical-based organocatalytic method for the direct benzylation of allylic C–H bonds. The process uses nonfunctionalized allylic substrates and readily available benzyl radical precursors and is driven by visible light. Crucial was the identification of a dithiophosphoric acid that performs two distinct catalytic roles, sequentially acting as a catalytic donor for the formation of photoactive electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complexes and then as a hydrogen atom abstractor. By mastering these orthogonal radical generation paths, the organic catalyst enables the formation of benzylic and allylic radicals, respectively, to then govern their selective coupling. The protocol was also used to design a three-component radical process, which increased the synthetic potential of the chemistry.

The mild borylation of alkyl bromides and chlorides with bis(neopentylglycolato)diborane (B2neop2) mediated by iron-bis amide is described. The reaction proceeds with a broad substrate scope and good functional group compatibility. Moreover, sufficient ca
Use of Isopropyl Alcohol as a Reductant for Catalytic Dehydoxylative Dimerization of Benzylic Alcohols Utilizing Ti?O Bond Photohomolysis

Photohomolysis of Ti?O bonds is utilized in photocatalytic generation of titanium(III) species for dehydroxylative dimerization of benzylic alcohols under UV-light irradiation by using isopropyl alcohol (IPA) as a stoichiometric reductant. In this reaction, IPA works not as a single-electron donor as in the photo-redox catalyzed reactions but as an H-atom-donor. The reaction also proceeds under visible-light irradiation in the presence of thioglycolic acid as a ligand.
