Advances in net-1,2-hydrogen atom transfer of oxygen- and nitrogen-centered radicals: mechanisms and applications in synthesis.
The selective activation of C(sp3)-H bonds in a molecule possessing multiple inequivalent hydrogens remains a critical challenge in organic synthesis. One method to achieve such activation is via well-explored 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) processes of heteroatom-centered radicals. In contrast to 1,5-HAT, the emergi...
