Exploring New Reactions Involving Radicals and Electron Transfer
Super Electron-DonorsSuper electron-donors are formed by reaction of base with a wide range of functional groups. These donors then function as strong single electron donors to appropriate acceptors, affording radical intermediates.

Grubbs-Stoltz ReagentThe reagent pair KOtBu/Et3SiH provides multiple reactive intermediates. This is an unusual situation for substrate molecules and necessarily leads to unprecedented chemistry.

Photoredox ChemistryPhotoredox chemistry provides great opportunities for discovery of reactions. We recently announced the first examples of radical-cation Smiles rearrangements.
