Article Abstract
Radical-radical reactions can generate two channels with high and low spins. In this work, ten radical-radical reactions with different spin channels and four radical-molecule reactions in hydrogen-oxygen combustion were systematically investigated from a theoretical perspective. The potential energy surface (PES) of radical-radical reactions reveals that the high- and low-spin states of the reactant are energetically degenerate and the two channels are energetically feasible. The difference in rate constants between the high- and low-spin channels gradually decreases as the temperature increases. Then, the kinetic parameters of the 14 bimolecular reactions in the hydrogen-oxygen mechanism of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), were replaced to simulate the ignition delay time and laminar flame speed. The simulation results agree well with the available experimental findings, indicating the necessity of considering both high- and low-spin channels for kinetic simulation.

The direct transformation of C-H bonds into C-C bonds via cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) represents a powerful strategy in synthetic chemistry, enabling streamlined bond construction without the need for prefunctionalized substrates. While traditional CDC approaches rely on polar mechanisms and preactivation of one of the C-H partners, recent advances have introduced radical-based strategies that employ a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) approach to access carbon-centered radicals from unactivated substrates. Herein, we report a nickel-catalyzed CDC reaction between aldehydes and alkenes for the synthesis of skipped enones, leveraging aryl radicals as intermolecular HAT agents.

The direct cross-coupling of unactivated alkyl halides with aryl or heteroaryl partners remains a fundamental challenge in synthetic chemistry due to their inertness and propensity for side reactions. Herein, we report a transition-metal-free electrochemical halogen-atom transfer strategy that enables efficient alkyl radical cross-coupling via convergent paired electrolysis. In this system, anodically generated α-aminoalkyl radicals mediate the activation of alkyl iodides, while aryl/heteroaryl aldehydes or nitriles undergo cathodic reduction to afford persistent ketyl radical anions or aryl radical anions.

2-Alkylindoles are privileged motifs that serve as versatile intermediates and building blocks in synthetic and medicinal chemistry. Herein, we report a photoinduced, EDA-complex-enabled C2-benzylic C(sp)-H alkylation of indoles with bromides through radical cross-coupling. This developed protocol provides facile access to 2-alkylindoles from structurally varied 2-methylindoles and bromides under mild reaction conditions with simple operation.

Propargyl radical (•C3H3) and butadienyl radical (•i-C4H5) are two crucial intermediates in combustion and astrochemistry, particularly in the formation of C7H8 aromatics such as toluene. However, the precise formation mechanisms of the first-ring aromatics through C3 + C4 reactions have remained ambiguous. This study explores the detailed potential energy surface (PES) of C7H8 at the •C3H3 + •i-C4H5 entrance reaction channel, alongside conducting kinetic calculations and modeling.

Purpose: This study investigated the impact of ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) proton radiotherapy on DNA damage compared to conventional dose rate (CONV) radiotherapy. We hypothesized that the unique physicochemical processes associated with UHDR could lead to a reduction of DNA damage. Thus, the aim of this study is to clarify the time scale of the physicochemical processes in which the suppression of SSBs by UHDR proton irradiation occurs.
