This work showcases a novel visible‐light mediated allenylation protocol employing propargyl sulfides as a pioneering radical trapping methodology. A diverse array of substituted sulfonyl allenes were successfully synthesized under mild conditions with commendable levels of chemo‐ and regio‐selectivity. Mechanistically, this process entails the formation of sulfonyl radicals, their subsequent addition to alkynes, the subsequent elimination of S‐centered radicals, and Cl‐atom abstraction, thereby facilitating the propagation of this radical chain reaction.

This article discusses the synthesis and characterization of various 1-thiaphenalene derivatives using a radical approach and photoredox catalysis. The reaction involves the intermolecular cyclization of 1-naphthalenesulfonyl chlorides and alkynes under mild conditions, resulting in high product diversity and broad functional-group tolerance. The authors provide a plausible reaction mechanism and experimental details for the synthesis of specific compounds, which were characterized using techniques such as NMR, HRMS, and IR spectroscopy. This information can be valuable for researchers studying these compounds or related topics. [Extracted from the article]

An efficient method for the radical difunctionalization of aromatic alkynes has been developed, resulting in the synthesis of a range of valuable triarylethenes. This approach utilizes strategically designed aryldiazonium salts with tertiary alcohol substitution as bifunctional reagents, along with cost-effective cuprous chloride as a catalyst. The method demonstrates remarkable Z-selectivity and is capable of gram-scale preparation. Additionally, a novel spin-trapping reagent has been developed based on the synthesized product.

Radical difunctionalization of aliphatic alkynes provides direct access to valuable multi‐substituted alkenes, but achieving a high level of chemo‐ and stereo‐control remains a formidable challenge. Herein a novel photoredox neutral alkyne di‐functionalization is reported through functional group migration followed by a radical‐polar crossover and energy transfer‐enabled stereoconvergent isomerization of alkenes. In this sequence, a hydroxyalkyl and an aryl group are incorporated concomitantly into an alkyne, leading to diversely functionalized E‐allyl alcohols. The scope of alkynes is noteworthy, and the reaction tolerates aliphatic alkynes containing hydrogen donating C─H bonds that are prone to intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer. The protocol features broad functional group compatibility, high product diversity, and exclusive chemo‐ and stereoselectivity, thus providing a practical strategy for the elusive radical di‐functionalization of unactivated alkynes.

A novel photoredox‐neutral 1,2,5‐trifunctionalization of α‐hydroxyhexenoates is disclosed. The radical cascade proceeds via heteroaryl migration‐enabled alkene fluoroalkylheteroarylation and radical‐polar crossover deuteration, leading to functionalized α‐deuterated lactic acid derivatives. The reaction features mild photochemical conditions and provides an efficient approach for the synthesis of valuable deuterated molecules. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
