Harnessing free radical intermediates for selective functionalization of organic compounds has been widely demonstrated under photocatalytic conditions requiring a distinct photocatalyst. In this issue of Chem, Seo, Chang, and co-workers demonstrate an alternative photocatalyst-free light-mediated approach that allows efficient amidation of aldehydes via N-centered radical intermediate.

用可见光控制自由基中继过程

在需要独特光催化剂的光催化条件下，已广泛证明了利用自由基中间体来选择性官能化有机化合物。在本期《化学》杂志中，Seo，Chang和他的同事展示了一种无光催化剂的替代光导方法，该方法可通过N中心自由基中间体有效地醛化酰胺。
