Regioisomerized atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) of olefins with dichlorofluorocarbons†
Abstract
The Cu(I) catalysed atom transfer radical addition of dichlorofluorocarbons to olefins via C–Cl bond homolysis is successfully carried out. Isomerization of vic into gem-dichlorofluorocarbons is observed by using CuCl as a catalyst and TPMA as a ligand, indicating a radical addition mechanism of this reaction procedure.
