Anti-Markovnikov alkene hydroalkylation via iron photocatalysis
Hydroalkylation provides a direct approach to C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond formation from abundant alkenes, yet general methods for linear-selective hydroalkylation remain limited, particularly for simple alkyl groups such as methyl and ethyl. Here we introduce traceless radical polarity reversal, in which a removable electron-w...
