Abstract

AbstractRadical reactions have several unique features such as high reaction rates, mild/neutral conditions, compatibility with many functional groups, and minimal need for tedious protection/deprotection steps. Radical reactions are well suited for tandem processes and are often the method of choice for synthesizing molecules with complex structures. Even though radical chemistry has been practiced for a long time, only in the past three decades have we seen the emergence of stereoselective radical reactions. This review describes progress in stereoselective radical chemistry, which includes both diastereoselective and enantioselective reactions. Recent developments in radical reactions catalyzed by organocatalysts have shown advantages of high reactivity and ecofriendliness and they are discussed in some detail.
