Multi-component heteroarene couplings via polarity-reversed radical cascades†
Abstract
A multi-component radical addition strategy enables difunctionalization of alkenes with heteroarenes and a variety of radical precursors, including N3, P(O)R2, and CF3. This unified approach for coupling diverse classes of electrophilic radicals and heteroarenes to vinyl ethers allows for direct, vicinal C–C as well as C–N, C–P, and C–Rf bond formation.
