KAIST Develops a Strategy to Balance Radical Generation and Catalyst Regeneration, Enabling Challenging Chemical Reactions

Caption

Figure 1. Infographic (AI-generated)
A schematic diagram, presented as a balance scale, illustrating how the cyclopropenimine (CPI) ligand affects the oxidation-reduction properties of the copper catalyst to regulate the balance between radical generation and catalyst regeneration. This balance enables efficient radical catalytic reactions under mild conditions and allows even tertiary alkyl chlorides, which are difficult to activate, to be used in the reaction.
