Radical NHC Catalysis

Radical/radical cross-coupling reactions represent an efficient and straightforward approach for the construction of chemical bonds and accordingly have drawn increasing attention over the past decades. In order to achieve synthetically useful transformations, a persistent radical should be coupled with a transient radical in accordance with the persistent radical effect (PRE). However, known transient radicals outnumber by far the known types of free persistent radicals, which limits the widespread application of the PRE, until today. Thus, the development of efficient cross-coupling reactions between transient radicals has been in focus, and meanwhile transition-metal catalysis has been successfully…
