Site-Specific Oxidation of (sp3)C-C(sp3)/H Bonds by NaNO2/HCl

A site-specific oxidation of (sp3)C-C(sp3) and (sp3)C-H bonds in aryl alkanes by the use of NaNO2/HCl was explored. The method is chemical-oxidant-free, transition-metal-free, uses water as the solvent, and proceeds under mild conditions, making it valuable and attractive to synthetic organic chemistry.

Generation of Alkyl Radical through Direct Excitation of Boracene-Based Alkylborate

The generation of tertiary, secondary, and primary alkyl radicals has been achieved by the direct visible-light excitation of a boracene-based alkylborate. This system is based on the photophysical properties of the organoboron molecule. The protocol is applicable to decyanoalkylation, Giese addition, and nickel-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond formations such as alkyl-aryl cross-coupling or vicinal alkylarylation of alkenes, enabling the introduction of various C(sp3) fragments to organic molecules.
