Recent Advances in Application of Alkoxy Radical in Organic Synthesis

Alkoxy radicals have been identified as versatile intermediates in synthetic chemistry in the last few decades. Over the last decade, various catalytic processes for the in situ generation of alkoxy radicals have been explored, leading to the development of new synthetic methodologies based on alkoxy radicals. In this review, we provided a comprehensive review of recent developments in the utilization of alkoxy radicals in diverse organic transformations, natural product synthesis, and the late-stage modification of bioactive molecules through the implementation of the photoredox methodology.
