Synthetic strategies based on open-shell radical species have elicited increasing interest in recent years.1–3 On one hand, the reasons for this success can be found in the extraordinary functional group tolerance offered by these highly reactive intermediates, that allow for the design of more compact syntheses with respect to traditional ones. On the other hand, tremendous efforts have been devoted to the implementation of mild conditions for the generation of radical species, in turn enabling to fully profit of their unique reactivity profile. Notably, all of these aspects comply with the general requirements of Green Chemistry, rendering radical-based methodologies one of the election tools in the panorama of sustainable syntheses.4
