Abstract
The addition of carbon-centered radicals to double bonds is one of the most atom-efficient approaches to the formation of new C-C or C-heteroatom bonds. Existing approaches for the generation of carbon-centered radicals often require elevated temperatures, UV radiation or expensive transition metal catalysts. In this work, a photocatalytic system based on a heterogeneous TiO2 catalyst and a redox organocatalyst N-hydroxyphthalimide is proposed for the generation of carbon-centered radicals from C(sp3)-H substrates or aldehydes at room temperature under visible light irradiation. The developed approach was successfully applied to the addition of ethers, alkylarenes and aldehydes to azodicarboxylates. Titanium oxide acts as a photocatalyst, producing phthalimide-N-oxyl radicals from N-hydroxyphthalimide, thereby enabling the organocatalytic process in solution. Phthalimide-N-oxyl radicals act as catalytically active species that cleave C-H bonds to form carbon-centered radicals.

Abstract
Synthetic photochemistry is an alternative, green and sustainable approach in organic synthesis, offering the possibility for the discovery of novel reactivities. Carboxylic acids are abundant and widely used as suitable radical precursors for light-mediated processes, providing access to products that are not accessible via conventional methods. Herein, we report a green, cheap, metal-free, photochemical decarboxylative protocol for the 1,4-radical conjugate addition (Giese reaction) using thioxanthone, a commercially available organic molecule, or a thioxanthone-triflic acid (TfOH) complex, as the photocatalyst, under LED 427 nm irradiation. A wide range of carboxylic acids, amino acids and Michael acceptors has been tested, affording the desired products in good to high yields.

Abstract
The reemerging field of photoredox catalysis offers numerous advantages towards the development of novel, sustainable and easy-to-execute organic transformations. Herein, we report a light-triggered application of cerium complexes towards the C-H alkenylation and alkynylation of alkanes. An indirect HAT-mediated photocatalytic protocol was developed, using a cerium salt (CeCl3 ⋅ 7H2O) and a chlorine source (TBACl) as the catalytic system. A variety of cyclic and linear hydrocarbons were utilized, delivering the corresponding alkenylation or alkynylation products in good to high yields, displaying high regioselectivity.

Abstract
Heteroatoms are essential to living organisms and present in almost all molecules with medicinal usage. The catalytic functionalization at the carbon-centered radical with an adjacent heteroatom provides an effective way to value added moiety while retaining the unique physicochemical and pharmacological properties of heteroatoms, which can promote the development of pharmaceutical and fine chemical production. Carbonylative transformation was discovered nearly a century ago which is an efficient method for the synthesis of carbonyl-containing molecules with potent applications in both industry and academia. Despite numerous advances in new reaction development, carbonylative transformation involving adjacent heteroatom carbon radical remain a subject that deserves to be discussed. In this minireview, we systematically summarized and discussed the recent advances in carbonylative transformations involving carbon-centered radicals with an adjacent heteroatom, including oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), silicon (Si), sulfur (S), boron (B), fluorine (F), and chlorine (Cl). The related reaction mechanism was also discussed.

Abstract
Although the introduction of plastics has improved humanity's everyday life, the fast accumulation of plastic waste, including microplastics and nanoplastics, have created numerous problems with recent studies highlighting their involvement in various aspects of our lives. Upcycling of plastics, the conversion of plastic waste to high-added value chemicals, is a way to combat plastic waste that is receiving increased attention. Herein, we describe a novel aerobic photochemical process for the upcycling of real-life polystyrene-based plastics into benzoic acid. A new process employing a thioxanthone-derivative, in combination with N-bromosuccinimide, under ambient air and 390 nm irradiation is capable of upcycling real-life polystyrene-derived products in benzoic acid in yields varying from 24-54 %.

Abstract
Plastic pollution constitutes an evergrowing urgent environmental problem, since overaccumulation of plastic waste, arising from the immense increase of the production of disposable plastic products, overcame planet's capacity to properly handle them. Chemical upcycling of polystyrene constitutes a convenient method for the conversion of plastic waste into high-added value chemicals, suggesting an attractive perspective in dealing with the environmental crisis. We demonstrate herein a novel, easy-to-perform organocatalytic photoinduced aerobic protocol, which proceeds via synergistic indirect hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalysis under LED 390 nm Kessil lamps as the irradiation source. The developed method employs a BrCH2CN-thioxanthone photocatalytic system and was successfully applied to a variety of everyday-life plastic products, leading to the isolation of benzoic acid after simple base-acid work up in yields varying from 23-49 %, while a large-scale experiment was successfully performed, suggesting that the photocatalytic step is susceptible to industrial application.

Abstract
Saturated heterocycles are important class of structural scaffolds in small-molecule drugs, natural products, and synthetic intermediates. Here, we disclosed a metal free, mild, and scalable functionalization of saturated heterocycles using vinylarenes as a linchpin approach. Key to success of this transformation is the employing of simple and cheap benzophenone as a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalyst. This operationally robust process was used for the making of diverse functionalized saturated heterocycles. Furthermore, aldehydes, alkane, and alcohol have been functionalized under the optimized conditions. The potential pharmaceutical utility of the procedure has also been demonstrated by late-stage functionalization of bioactive natural compounds and pharmaceutical molecules. Initial mechanism studies and control experiments were performed to elucidate the mechanism of the reactions.

Abstract
Despite the notable advancements made over the past decade in achieving carbon-carbon bonds by transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling processes, metal-free cross-coupling reactions for hydroacylation of aromatic alkynes via C(sp3)-H functionalization are still rare and highly desired. Here we report a metal-free reliable approach for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated ketones (chalcones) via C(sp3)-H functionalization using MeCN:H2O as green solvent, Eosin Y as organic photocatalyst, and ambient air as oxidant. More significantly, this strategy can effectively transform a variety of methyl arenes and aromatic alkynes into the desired product. With high atom efficiency, use of green solvents, metal-free nature, environmental friendliness, and visible light as a renewable energy source, this method is compatible with biologically active molecules.

Abstract
The oxidative alkenylation reaction of α-aminoalkyl C(sp3)-H bonds has been investigated with (E)-1,2-bis(sulfonyl)ethenes. The catalytic process of iron-polypyridyl complexes drives the single-electron oxidation of dialkyl anilines, resulting in the formation of α-aminoalkyl radical species. Subsequent cascades of radical addition and elimination reactions ensue, ultimately leading to the generation of sulfonylated allylic amine products. The utility of these products extends further, enabling the synthesis of multisubstituted heterocycles like pyrroles, pyrazines, and triazoles.

Abstract
The hydroacylation of dialkyl azodicarboxylates has received a lot of attention lately due to the great importance of acyl hydrazides in organic chemistry. Herein, we report an inexpensive and green photochemical approach, where light irradiation (390 nm) significantly accelerates the reaction between dialkyl azodicarboxylates and aldehydes, while water is employed as the solvent. A variety of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes were converted into their corresponding acyl hydrazides in good to excellent yields in really short reaction times (15-210 min) and the reaction mechanism was also studied. Applications of this reaction in the syntheses of Vorinostat and Moclobemide were demonstrated.

Abstract
The amination and alkenylation of the C(sp3)-H bond at the N-α position of secondary benzamides were both realized in this work by using N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) imidate esters as substrates under a dual catalysis involving a photoredox catalyst and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalyst. The developed methods significantly extended the scope of applications of the N-α position C(sp3)-H bond functionalization with regard to secondary N-alkylamides. More importantly, new reaction models in photoredox catalysis have been established. Based on corresponding experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the critical reaction steps combined with information reported previously, we proposed a synergistic photo- and organocatalytic reaction process for the C(sp3)-H bond functionalization and also clarified the occurrence of a chain process in the reaction pathway.

Abstract
A synthetically beneficial visible-light-mediated protocol has been disclosed to achieve C-H amination of readily available feedstocks cyclic and acyclic ethers. A rarely identified N-bromosuccinamide-tetrahydrofuran electron donor-acceptor complex served as an initiator to functionalize both α-diazoketones and dialkyl azodicarboxylates. This developed methodology gives an alternative and milder way to construct the C-N bond and can be explored for the formation of C-C bond to perform arylation and allylation reactions.

Abstract
Sulfoxide-containing molecules are an important class of compounds in the pharmaceutical industry and many efforts have been made to develop new and green protocols, targeting the chemoselective transformation of sulfides into sulfoxides. Photochemistry is a rapidly expanding research field employing light as the energy source. Photochemical aerobic processes possess additional advantages to photochemistry and may find applications in the chemical industries. Herein, a 370 nm catalyst-free aerobic protocol was developed, using 2-Me-THF as the green solvent. At the same time, two low-catalyst-loading anthraquinone-based processes (under a CFL lamp or 427 nm irradiation) in 2-Me-THF were developed. Furthermore, a broad range of substrates was tested. We also implemented our protocols towards the synthesis of the pharmaceutical active ingredients (APIs) sulforaphane and modafinil.

Abstract
Since 2014, we have introduced in literature the use of phenylglyoxylic acid (PhCOCOOH), a small and commercially available organic molecule, as a potent promoter in a variety of photochemical processes. Although PhCOCOOH has a broad scope of photochemical reactions that can promote, the understanding of its mode of action in our early contributions was moderate. Herein, we are restudying and revisiting the mechanism of action of PhCOCOOH in most of these early contributions, providing a unified mechanism of action. Furthermore, the understanding of its action as a photoinitiator opened a new comparison study with known and commercially available photoinitiators.

Abstract
Carbon-nitrogen bonds are ubiquitous in biologically active compounds, prompting synthetic chemists to design various methodologies for their preparation. Arguably, the ideal synthetic approach is to be able to directly convert omnipresent C-H bonds in organic molecules, enabling even late-stage functionalization of complex organic scaffolds. While this approach has been thoroughly investigated for C(sp2)-H bonds, only few examples have been reported for the direct amination of aliphatic C(sp3)-H bonds. Herein, we report the use of a newly developed flow photoreactor equipped with high intensity chip-on-board LED technology (144 W optical power) to trigger the regioselective and scalable C(sp3)-H amination via decatungstate photocatalysis. This high-intensity reactor platform enables simultaneously fast results gathering and scalability in a single device, thus bridging the gap between academic discovery (mmol scale) and industrial production (>2 kg/day productivity). The photocatalytic transformation is amenable to the conversion of both activated and nonactivated hydrocarbons, leading to protected hydrazine products by reaction with azodicarboxylates. We further validated the robustness of our manifold by designing telescoped flow approaches for the synthesis of pyrazoles, phthalazinones and free amines.

Abstract
Photocatalytic hydrogen atom transfer is a very powerful strategy for the regioselective C(sp3 )-H functionalization of organic molecules. Herein, we report on the unprecedented combination of decatungstate hydrogen atom transfer photocatalysis with the oxidative radical-polar crossover concept to access the direct net-oxidative C(sp3 )-H heteroarylation. The present methodology demonstrates a high functional group tolerance (40 examples) and is scalable when using continuous-flow reactor technology. The developed protocol is also amenable to the late-stage functionalization of biologically relevant molecules such as stanozolol, (-)-ambroxide, podophyllotoxin, and dideoxyribose.

Abstract
![]()
Direct photocatalyzed
hydrogen atom transfer (d-HAT) can be considered
a method of choice for the elaboration of
aliphatic C–H bonds. In this manifold, a photocatalyst (PCHAT) exploits the energy of a photon to trigger the homolytic
cleavage of such bonds in organic compounds. Selective C–H
bond elaboration may be achieved by a judicious choice of the hydrogen
abstractor (key parameters are the electronic character and the molecular
structure), as well as reaction additives. Different are the classes
of PCsHAT available, including aromatic ketones, xanthene
dyes (Eosin Y), polyoxometalates, uranyl salts, a metal-oxo porphyrin
and a tris(amino)cyclopropenium radical dication. The processes (mainly
C–C bond formation) are in most cases carried out under mild
conditions with the help of visible light. The aim of this review
is to offer a comprehensive survey of the synthetic applications of
photocatalyzed d-HAT.

Abstract
Cyclic ethers are important scaffolds employed in the synthesis of various natural products and pharmaceutical ingredients. A novel free radical-initiated reaction between cyclic ethers and maleimide iodides through C-H activation is developed, avoiding the use of transition metallic catalysts. This method provides a simple approach to derive cyclic ethers, which were further applied in various cross coupling reactions.

Abstract
A direct sp3 C-H amination of cyclic amines (dihydroquinoxalinones and dihydrobenzoxazinones) with dialkyl azo dicarboxylates accelerated by visible-light irradiation under metal and photocatalyst-free conditions is described. This protocol features very mild reaction conditions for the synthesis of aminal quinoxaline and benzoxazine derivatives with good to high yields (up to 99%). These aminal derivatives respresent versatile building blocks for the divergent synthesis of quinoxalin-2-one derivatives.
