title: Multicomponent Oxyalkylation of Styrenes Enabled by Hydrogen-Bond-Assisted Photoinduced Electron Transfer.
abstract: Herein, we disclose a strategy for the activation of N-(acyloxy)phthalimides towards photoinduced electron transfer through hydrogen bonding. This activation mode enables efficient access to C(sp3)-centered radicals upon decarboxylation from bench-stable and readily available substrates. Moreover, we demonstrate that the formed alkyl radicals can be successfully employed in a novel redox-neutral method for constructing sp3-sp3bonds across styrene moieties that gives straightforward access to complex alcohol and ether scaffolds.
