Radical substitution of allyl carboxylates by carbon radicals derived from non-activated alcohols

Abstract

A radical coupling reaction between non-activated alcohols and 2-arylallyl pivalates was discovered. The reaction involves the dual function of low-valent titanium in cleaving both C–OH and C–OPiv bonds. This reaction is compatible with a range of tertiary and secondary alcohols.
