Tertiary amides, ureas, and amines undergo direct intermolecular addition to aldehydes under the Et3B/air conditions, thereby providing a unique and simple means for the radical sp3 C−H transformation of nitrogen-containing molecules.

      Carborynes can exist in two resonance forms, bonding form vs biradical form. The biradical form can be readily generated via the elimination of LiI from 1-iodo-n-lithio-1,n-C2B10H10 (n = 2, 7) under UV irradiation. They can undergo α-C−H bond insertion ...
