Photo-induced energy transfer mediated O2-initiated deboronative generation of alkyl radicals from alkyl boronic acids and its application in radical Smiles rearrangement

A visible-light-induced, energy-transfer mechanism for O2-initiated deboronative generation of alkyl radical approaches from alkylboronic acids and guided to a Smiles rearrangement reaction has been developed. This protocol utilizes tetracoordinate boron...
