Abstract: Radical reactions are pivotal in organic chemistry, playing a significant role in synthetic methodologies. Radical-mediated 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) represents an effective strategy for the functionalization of remote unactivated C(sp3)―H bonds, exhibiting excellent regioselectivity and atomic economy. Recent studies in this area have achieved breakthrough results. This review draws upon the allusion of “长辔远驭” (Chang Pei Yuan Yu) to provide a detailed discussion on the direct functionalization of remote C(sp3)―H bonds initiated by radical-induced 1,5-HAT under metal-catalyzed, visible light-catalyzed, and synergistic catalytic conditions.

Key words: 1,5-HAT, Free radical, C(sp3)―H bond activation, Remote functionalization
