Abstract
AbstractHerein 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.
