Substrate-PairedElectron Donor–Acceptor ComplexesEnable Photochemical Alkyl–Alkyl Cross-Coupling

Abstract Selective C(sp3)–C(sp3) cross-coupling of two distinct alkyl radicals is difficult because homocoupling and radical decomposition compete with heterocoupling. We report a catalyst-free, redox-neutral photochemical coupling of alkylpyridinium salts with alkylboron reagent...
