Abstract
Xanthate salts are a unique class of visible-light-excitable alkyl radical precursors that act simultaneously as strong photoreductants and alkyl radical sources. Upon direct photoexcitation of xanthate anions, efficient deoxygenative alkenylation and alkylation of a wide range of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols have been achieved avoiding any photocatalysts.
