Photoredox/Cobalt-Catalyzed Cascade Rearrangement-Cyclization of Alkene

A photoredox/cobalt-catalyzed sequential rearrangement-cyclization of unactivated alkenes is reported. 1,1diarylalkenes bearing tethered nucleophiles undergo a selective 1,2-aryl migration, initiated by metal-hydride hydrogen atom transfer and radical-polar crossover, and followe...
