Evidence of single electron transfer from the enolate anion of an N,N′-dialkyldiketopiperazine additive in BHAS coupling reactions†
Abstract
A designed N,N′-dialkyldiketopiperazine (DKP) provides evidence for the role of DKP additives as initiators that act by electron transfer in base-induced homolytic aromatic substitution reactions, involving coupling of haloarenes to arenes.
