The anti-Markovnikov hydronitration and hydronitroalkylation of alkenes by using cooperative photoredox catalysis and hydrogen atom abstraction has been developed to access an important class of molecules—nitroalkanes. The image shows a vibrant beam of visible light directed into a flask containing bench-stable, redox-active organic nitrating reagents, either N-nitrosuccinimide or gem-bromonitroalkanes, generating a controlled number of bubbles that transport reactive nitryl or nitroalkyl radicals. The unique molecules surrounding the flask and carried by bubbles symbolize the novelty of the reported method, drawing attention and inviting scientists to explore the world of radical nitration chemistry in greater depth.
