Small organic molecules have been widely applied to the construction of various skeletons. However, reduction as one of the fundamental reactions is generally initiated by metal‐containing reducing agents, although the initial progress of organic electron donors (OEDs) enabled reductive cleavage of some chemical bonds had been achieved in 1990s. Due to their structural diversity and tunability, OEDs can overcome the limitations of metal‐based reducing agents, such as low selectivity and poor functional group tolerance as well as the environmental problems caused by substantial inorganic waste after reactions. Building on a brief historical overview of OED research, this review focuses on the rencent advancements of the OEDs promoted radical reactions. It covers the reduction of C−X (X=C, O, N etc.) single bonds, radical cyclization, intermolecular radical addition to unsaturated bonds, radical coupling, functionalization of aromatics, and C−H bond activation. Additionally, the mechanistic insights of the typical reactions are highlighted for well understanding of the reaction mode involving OEDs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":130,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry","volume":"14 1","pages":"Article e202400520"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143117904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this industry, partially hydrogenated heterocycles are also a target. Combining these two concepts, it was studied the reduction of heterocycles with simultaneous deuterium incorporation by transfer deuteration, a process of introducing two deuterium atoms into an organic molecule using non‐D<sub>2</sub> sources, avoiding the use of a gas or harmful reagents. Formic acid/sodium formate and D<sub>2</sub>O as the sole deuterium source were used under mild conditions. The precatalyst was [RuCl(<em>p</em>‐cym)(dmbpy)]BF<sub>4</sub>, (<em>p</em>‐cym=<em>p</em>‐cymene, dmbpy=4,4’‐dimethyl‐2,2’‐bipyridine), which is able to generate the “Ru−D” fragment from D<sup>+</sup> by a polarity inversion process (“umpolung”). A wide range of heterocycles were tested. Selective reduction in the nitrogen‐containing ring with deuterium incorporation into the same ring was achieved. The experiments were carried out in a biphasic D<sub>2</sub>O/toluene medium, which allowed excellent catalyst recycling with a simple work‐up. Through detailed studies for 3‐methylquinoline using DCOOD/DCOONa, the reaction mechanism that involves D<sup>+</sup> incorporation at the nitrogen atom and an initial 1,2‐type addition was elucidated.
