dc.description.abstractOrganoboron reagents are widely used in organic chemistry due to their versatile reactivity, ubiquity, stability, and low cost. They are commonly employed as coupling partners in cross-coupling reactions, such as the Pd-catalysed Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, which is responsible for 40% of C–C bond formation reactions in the pharmaceutical industry. However, with the development of the photoredox chemistry over the last 15 years, radical-mediated cross-coupling reactions have flourished. Radicals are now easily made from cheap-commercially-available or easy-to-make precursors using visible light irradiation. They can then further react with numerous different coupling partners leading to an extensive range of new cross coupling opportunities, without the requirement for a photocatalyst in some cases. Organoborons have mostly been employed as radical precursors but their use as coupling partners has increased over the past few years. N-(Acyloxy)phthalimides (NHPI) esters, a class of redox activated ester species, are widely used as alkyl radical precursors owing to their bench-stability and ease of access. Single electron transfer (SET) affords the desired radical through decarboxylation. In this work, we disclose a new method for C–C bond formation between a styrenyl boronic acid and NHPI ester under Ru-mediated photocatalysis. The reaction proceeds smoothly within three hours under blue LED irradiation and affords the desired products in good to excellent yields. The radical addition undergoes unusual polarity-mismatched Giese-type addition to the organoboron coupling partner. A radical polar crossover reaction requires the presence of a redox-active additive to enable the desired bond formation to occur, and proceeds via an unusual boronic acid priming event. This thesis will describe the development and application of this reaction.en_US
