Abstract
Herein, we report a photoredox-catalyzed, decarboxylative C(sp3)-C(sp3) coupling of carboxylic acids, facilitated by SO2 as a key oxidant. Alkyl radicals, generated via photoredox decarboxylation, undergo homocoupling under the mild oxidizing conditions provided by SO2. Mechanistic studies confirm that SO2 serves a crucial role in mediating the radical cross-coupling. This work pioneers an SO2-driven radical coupling strategy, offering a practical method for constructing C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds and advancing synthetic applications in pharmaceutical research.
