[Ir(p-F(Me)ppy)2-(4,4′-dtbbpy)]PF6 is a cyclometalated iridium(III) complex that can be used in visible-light mediated photocatalytic organic transformations.
Over the past three decades, considerable progress has been made in the development of methods to construct sp2 carbon-nitrogen (C-N) bonds using palladium, copper or nickel catalysis1,2. However, the incorporation of alkyl substrates to form sp3 C-N bonds remains one
Although the α-alkylation of ketones has already been established, the analogous reaction using aldehyde substrates has proven surprisingly elusive. Despite the structural similarities between the two classes of compounds, the sensitivity and unique reactivity of the aldehyde functionality has typically

Deuterium- and tritium-labeled pharmaceutical compounds are pivotal diagnostic tools in drug discovery research, providing vital information about the biological fate of drugs and drug metabolites. Herein we demonstrate that a photoredox-mediated hydrogen atom transfer protocol can efficiently and selectively install
