The carboxyl and alkoxyl radicals generated from visible light photoredox reactions are important reaction intermediates in organic synthesis, which have witnessed conceivable progress recently. In this review, we focus on visible-light-induced photoredox methods to generate carboxyl radicals from carboxylate derivatives and carboxylates, as well as alkoxyl radicals from alcohol derivatives and alcohols, and briefly discuss their synthetic applications.
