Xie Jin, Yu Shouyun and Zhu Chengjian from Nanjing University School of chemistry and Chemical Engineering published three reviews, reporting the latest achievements in the field of free radical reaction

Recently, the research team of molecular and material synthesis (Xie Jin group, Yu Shouyun group and Zhu Chengjian group) of School of chemistry and chemical engineering of Nanjing University was invited to publish three invited review papers on free radical reaction online in accounts of chemical research, a journal of American Chemical Society, and chemical society review, a flagship journal of Royal chemical society , specifically including "the recent achievements of redox central radical C-C cross coupling enabled by visible light" (chem SOC Rev 2017, 46, 5193-5203), "total radical migration strategy: an emerging synthetic means" (chem SOC Rev Doi: 10.1039/c7cs00507e) and "exploration of C-H transformations of aldehyde hydrazones: radicalstrategies and beyond" (acc chem Res doi: 10.1021 / ACS Accounts 7b00565) Three papers systematically introduced the team's latest achievements in the field of visible light promoted free radical cross coupling reaction, free radical induced long-range transfer reaction and C-H bond functionalization of aldehydrazone Source: free radical reaction is an important type of reaction in the field of organic chemistry In recent ten years, with the appearance of mild free radical generation method represented by visible light oxidation-reduction catalysis, organic free radical chemistry, especially controlled free radical chemistry, has made remarkable progress and has been applied in the field of synthetic chemistry The research team of molecular and material synthesis of School of chemistry and chemical engineering of Nanjing University has made important contributions in the field of visible light reduction catalysis and free radical reaction catalyzed by cheap metals, and has published more than 80 high-level research papers in famous journals in the field of Chemistry (angelw Chem Int ed 2017, 56, 7266; angelw Chem Int ed 2015, 54, 4055; angelw Chem Int ed., 2016, 55, 5985; angelw Chem Int ed., 2016, 552939; angelw Chem Int ed 2013, 52, 13289; chem SCI., 2017, 8, 1303; chem SCI., 2013, 4, 1281) Many articles were selected as highly cited papers of ESI, which had an important impact on the world In 2016, the team was invited by Springer nature press to publish the English Book Sustainable C (SP 3) - H bond functionalization with Nanjing University as the only communication unit Dr Li weipeng and Dr Xu pan, School of chemistry and chemical engineering, Nanjing University, were the first authors of the review This series of research was supported by NSFC, Nanjing University summit program, National Key Laboratory of coordination chemistry, National Key Laboratory of life analytical chemistry and Jiangsu advanced materials key laboratory Z.nju.edu.cn/yusy/default.aspx Zhu Chengjian research group: http://hysz.nju.edu.cn/cjzhu/index.htm
