Carbon centered radicals are generated from 1,3-dithiolane (1-3), 1,3-oxathiolane (4, 6), 5-oxo-1,3-oxathiolane (5, 7) and 1,3-thiazolidine derivatives (8-17) under photochemical initiated reaction conditions using tris(trimethylsilyl)silane as a free radical mediator. In examples 14 to 17, N(substituted)-α-aminoalkyl radicals have been subjected to asymmetric 1,2-induction for the reduction reaction.
