Copper-Controlling Carbon-Centered Radical Reactivity for Methylenebisamide Synthesis via Ligand-to-Metal Charge-Transfer Excitation.

Tuning the reactivity of highly active radical intermediates is a serious challenge in organic synthesis. Herein, we describe an unexpected protocol involving visible-light-driven ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) excited states of copper(II) chlorides and diether complexes to achieve chemoselectivity between dist...
