Abstract

This lecture introduces a novel water activation strategy using a photocatalytic, phosphine-mediated radical process that produces a PR₃-H₂O radical cation intermediate under mild, metal-free conditions. This intermediate undergoes sequential heterolytic and homolytic O-H bond cleavage to transfer both hydrogen atoms. In the second part, a strategy for C-H functionalization of pyridine via dearomatization/rearomatization will be presented, enabling large-scale synthesis of oxazino pyridines. Meta-functionalization is achieved through radical alkylation and ionic transformations, allowing access to meta-fluorinated and regioselectively para-alkylated pyridines. Applications include Cu-catalyzed meta-arylation, switchable para/meta-difluoromethylation, and pyridine skeletal editing.
