烯烃自由基阴离子作为一类兼具自由基与碳负离子双重反应特性的高活性中间体, 在有机合成领域展现出独特的应用价值. 然而, 由于缺少温和可控的产生方法, 导致其参与的反应类型受限、底物适用范围较窄, 且反应立体选择性难以调控等问题. 因此, 烯烃自由基阴离子的可控生成与高选择性转化面临着多重挑战. 近年来, 随着新型催化体系的持续开发与不断发展, 烯烃自由基阴离子的反应类型已得到初步拓展, 为相关领域的合成研究提供了更多可能性. 本文将从烯烃自由基阴离子的不同生成方式及其参与的多样化转化反应两个维度出发, 简要综述该类中间体的三类主要生成策略——化学还原、电化学还原和光化学还原, 及其在几类重要烯烃转化反应中的研究进展, 并对该领域未来的发展方向进行展望.

Alkene radical anions are a highly reactive class of intermediates that exhibit the dual reactivity of both radicals and carbanions, and thus hold unique value in organic synthesis. However, the controlled generation and highly selective transformation of these species remain challenging, mainly due to the dearth of efficient methods for their controlled generation, especially in catalytic manner. This resulted in many issues such as difficult stereocontrol, limited substrate scope, and the relatively narrow range of reaction patterns available. In recent years, with the continuous development and advancement of novel catalytic systems, the reaction types of alkene radical anions have been initially expanded, offering more possibilities for synthetic research in related fields. This review briefly summarizes three major strategies for the generation of alkene radical anions—chemical reduction, electrochemical reduction, and photochemical reduction—and discusses their applications in several important alkene transformation reactions from the perspectives of both generation modes and downstream reactivity. Finally, the future development of this field is also discussed.
