title: Recent advances in the use of phosphorus-centered radicals in organic chemistry.
abstract: This tutorial review aims at presenting recent contributions dealing with organic chemistry of organophosphorus radicals. The first part briefly lays out the physical organic background of such intermediates. In a second part the use of organophosphorus radicals possessing a P-H bond that can undergo homolytic cleavage as alternative mediators is detailed. The third part is focused on radical additions of phosphorus-centered radicals to unsaturated compounds, an old reaction that is being rejuvenated. Lastly, radical eliminations of phosphorus-centered radical are introduced in the fourth part. Most of the latter are relatively novel reactions, and have never been reviewed previously.
