Exploring new reactions with Organic Electron Donors and the complexities of the Birch reduction

Reductive σ-bond cleavages of challenging substrates under metal-free, mild conditions have recently been achieved with photoactivated super-electron donor (SED). These include (but are not limited to) C-O bonds of benzylic ethers and esters, C-N bonds of benzylic sulfonamides and aromatic amides. T...
