Abstract: Herein, we describe a photocatalytic strategy for decyanative hydrofunctionalization of styrenes with α-heteroatom-substituted acetonitriles. This strategy facilitates the generation of α-heteroatom methyl radicals from acetonitriles through cyano group transfer (CGT) enabled by amine-ligated boryl radicals.… read more here.
