Abstract
This highlight focuses on recent applications of Brønsted acid-mediated radical processes across a range of reaction manifolds, including transition metal-based catalysis, photochemistry, and polymer science. A brief overview of significant research developments in the area and a discussion of the key mechanistic features of notable transformations are provided.
