    (Wiley, 2023-11) Ascenzi-Pettenuzzo, Cristina; Nganda, Juliet; Deng, Yongming; Chemistry and Chemical Biology, School of Science
    Herein we report a protocol for the generation of alkyl carbon radicals from alkylboronic acids wherein photoexcited 4-nitropyridine N-oxide biradical features a catalyst to promote the nucleo-homolytic substitution of boronic acids. With a wide range of readily available aliphatic boronic acids, including methyl boronic acid, the developed catalytic system demonstrates broad applicability for alkylation, amination, and cyanation.
