Homolytic Alkylations of Highly Electron-deficient Aromatic Compounds Involving Electron and Proton Transfers
Abstract
Regioselective homolytic alkylations leading to substitution for highly electron-deficient aromatics such as fluoro- or trifluoromethyl-substituted benzaldehydes and benzonitriles are observed via electron transfer chain processes in the presence of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane.
