Co-Catalyzed C(sp3)–C(sp2) bond cleavage via hydrogen atom transfer†
Abstract
The discovery of a new Co-catalyzed hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) C(sp3)–C(sp2) bond cleavage method to access ketones from alkenes is reported. This unprecedented transformation features mild reaction conditions and good functional group compatibility, and it proceeds through a key alkoxy radical formation and subsequent β-fragmentation approach.
