One‐Electron Reduction of Redox‐Active Esters to Generate Carbon‐Centered Radicals

The one‐electron reduction (OER) can profoundly affect the structure and reactivity of organic compounds. OER induced radical decarboxylative functionalizations of redox‐active esters have gained wide concerns in this century. In this review, we present recent advances using redox‐active esters as c...

Description
Summary:The one‐electron reduction (OER) can profoundly affect the structure and reactivity of organic compounds. OER induced radical decarboxylative functionalizations of redox‐active esters have gained wide concerns in this century. In this review, we present recent advances using redox‐active esters as carbon‐centered radical precursors to form carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds. Radical decarboxylative functionalization of redox‐active esters induced by one‐electron reductions (OER) has recently become a research focus in synthetic chemistry. Here we present the new advances using redox‐active esters as carbon‐centered radical precursors to form carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds.
