  • Geminal and vicinal borosilanes are useful building blocks in synthetic chemistry. But in contrast to the well-established transition-metal catalyzed methods, radical approaches are rarely explored. Here, the authors report the synthesis of geminal borosilanes from α-selective hydrosilylation of alkenyl boronates via photoinduced hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalysis

  • Functional-group transfer strategies using surrogates to avoid handling hazardous reagents are often limited to monofunctionalization reactions. Now, an operationally simple and mechanistically distinct photocatalytic transfer strategy for vicinal dihalogenation of carbon–carbon multiple bonds, such as in alkenes, alkynes and allenes, using readily synthesized oxime-based dihalogen surrogates is reported.

  • Acyl radicals represent a reactive species that allow for aldehyde subunits to be nucleophilic instead of their typical electrophilic behavior; however, these species are difficult to access in mild conditions. Here the authors show a method to generate acyl radicals using only an organic photocatalyst and light, and these species are shown as competent nucleophiles in a variety of couplings.

  • Alkene diazidations represent a promising strategy for the synthesis of 1,2-diamines. Here, the authors report a protocol that enables alkene diazidation via iron-mediated ligand-to-metal charge transfer, providing a versatile platform to access structurally diverse diazides without using external oxidants.

  • The controlled functionalization of multihydrosilanes is challenging. Now, using a hydrogen-atom-transfer photocatalyst based on neutral eosin Y, a method for the diverse functionalization of hydrosilanes has been developed, enabling the stepwise on-demand decoration of silicon atoms. This approach is distinguished by its atom-, step-, redox- and catalyst-economy, metal-free nature, its versatility (>150 examples), modularity, selectivity and scalability.

  • NORAD, a non-coding RNA activated by DNA damage, is highly expressed in osteosarcoma cells and tissue. The authors show that extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) deliver NORAD to osteosarcoma cells to regulate the miR-30c-5p/ Krueppel-like factor 10 axis, thereby accelerating the progression and metastasis of osteosarcoma.
