Additive‐Free Generation of Cyanoalkyl Radicals via Photoinduced Single Electron Transfer from Dichalcogenides to Cycloketone Oxime Esters

Abstract We herein report an additive‐free alternative for the generation of cyanoalkyl radicals through photoinduced single electron transfer from dichalcogenides to cyclobutanone oxime esters, resulting in chalcogen‐containing nitriles. Experimental and DFT studies supported the occurrence of the process between the two components.
