摘要

The C-O bond is ubiquitous in biologically activemolecules,pharmaceutical agents, and functional materials, thereby making itan important functional group. Consequently, the development of C-Obond-forming reactions using catalytic strategies has become an increasinglyimportant research topic in organic synthesis because more conventionalmethods involving strong base and acid have many limitations. In contrastto the ionic-pathway-based methods, copper-promoted radical-mediatedC-O bond formation is experiencing a surge in research interestowing to a renaissance in free-radical chemistry and photoredox catalysis.This Perspective highlights and appraises state-of-the-arttechniques in this burgeoning research field. The contents are organizedaccording to the different reaction types and working models.
